After a couple of weeks waiting our Suzuki Jimny has arrived. Two weeks ago Jude and I hunted around for a new Jimny in Christchurch, it was not a successful search as we ended up in Timaru where Hollands Suzuki had the only new Jimny JX a manual gearbox. We didn’t want the Sierra or Safari model with all the electronic luxuries like aircon, mags, roof rack, electric windows, central locking, electric side mirrors, side runner bars etc etc, we just wanted the JX basic model with no electrics to short out. The good thing is all the models are equal in every other aspect.
We use to own a Suzuki Jimny 2008 which we named the “Goat” because of the places we were able to take it and so we have given the same name to our new Jimny. Today we picked her up from Timaru and drove her back to Sumner and were pleased how she handled (of course). We had an A-Frame and towbar attached so we could put our bikes on her pull her behind our moho. We initially did not want to pull a vehicle behind us but as it transpires we could get our moho into some areas to use our MTBs and so this is the solution to that… bring on the journeys.
