A little light water splash…

Posted by Tom Ford at 5:15 pm on Monday January 26, 2009

‘Stig’s Irish Cousin’ (thanks mate) sent this one my way and it made me laugh out loud… The usual Suzuki SJ getting a bit dirty (them and Lada Nivas are the LAW off-road) – except that these guys go the extra mile. And the result is just brilliant. Ok, so it has a snorkel, and if you keep the throttle open you can keep water out of the exhaust, but you’re still going to have to seal a bit of engine bay to keep that little lot out. The only thing that stopped him is when he ran out of air in the cab!

    heh thats pretty freaking deep! although it looks like he’s got an exhaust snorkel too… now he just needs to get one for the cab, and add some height to the other ones, and he could be a proper submarine =D

    Cheers for the mention Tom! The little Suzukis are tough, I wonder if that fox-like Daihatsu Terios would fare as well?

    See? That’s how you keep your bow wave. An abject lesson – well done that Brummie (please feel free to attempt a cod accent), thank you for listening/reading/not mocking.

    yes lads! Fair play. I’ve been trying to persuade others that those wee suzis’ and the Nivas are the shizny for years, here is living proof.

    Excellent effort! Shame the cameraman ignored the ‘money shot’ opportunity to capture the intial waterfall when opening the door, in favour of the much less interesting water line (which was already visible anyway)…

    This is an M35, commonly known as “the Deuce and a half”. They ended up scrapping this project and using landing crafts instead.
