Have said to the misses when the swift dies will get me one of those little jimneys but nearly 200000 miles later the little car has never missed a beat, no back seats use it like a van rag it round the lanes like I stole it and it’s still as sweet as ever guess I will have to wait till next winter for the little 4x4

Same engine mate..even the minus temperature the last few mornings at 5am the engine doesent even turn over just bang starts straight away..suzuki make a cracking engine fair play..

I love deep, deep snow.

 When nature says quiten down mankind. I command you to turn off your engines. You are not going anywhere. Just submit.  Appreciate the new beauty,

Prolonged deep snow muffles all sound,it’s like being under a thick blanket.
