Yea, sort of.

Beast 1 WAS a Beast (Suzuki Jimny)  that really did go places where even Landrovers feared, much to the several owners disgust  and embarrasment that witnessed its agilty in amazement and total horror. lol:

 sad32: sad32: sad32:

There was a 'son of Beast two' too at one point. cloud9:

Absolutely gutted when I sold them.
One now in Scotland,(black) the other on Dartmoor (red)

Immense fun and hugely enjoyable off road...apart from the cocky knob heads i had to mix with when green laning.

The business venture was actually quite successful, only the arse hole land owners bolloxed it all up for me with their never ending quotes form the E.A. and DEFRA handbooks regarding such excitement as 'stagnant water' 'ruts' and 'bare tree roots', not forgetting the ban on me advertsing due to lack of planning permission. Banghead

Oh, and let's not forget the obscene P.L. insurance quotes too! Angry9:
