My Dads Suzuki XL7

[TVR-190]

My Dads Crappy softroader, comes with a 4WD gearbox but is useless due to crappy ground clearance, none the less it drove around Australia towing a caravan... Only rolled it once.

much damage when she went over?

[TVR-190]

well, my dad was going down a dirt road, started fishtailing and he lost control, finally came to a stop on the side of the road which was on an incline and the car tipped onto its side.

Luckily he wasnt towing the caravan at the time...


best picture ive got after the accident, few dents, mirror broken, used a wide vehicle mirror for the rest of the trip.

lol pretty lucky i'd say! by the looks of it he wasn't overly upset by it either!

[TVR-190]

He loved going around Aus, hed go again if he could afford it

Im trying to get my dad to sell this and buy a triton now as this thing has hit 160,000km and i think its starting to pack it in by the feel

[vnv8driver]

go the triton, i had a 3.5 triton ute (200?) as a work ute and its nothing but wheelspin around corners in 4th-5th gear with no weight behind it. as quick as a healthy v6 commie ute anyway

dont buy a new one, the ugly cab and tray ones, we have a few at work, and all the drivers hate them, they have tremendous amounts of squeaks, tail shaft whip under accelleration, dont go that well...... there just bad, your better off getting a RA diesel rodeo or diesel hilux, diesel bt-50 or ranger or an older triton,
