'The little engine that could' is a children's book that is used to teach children the value of being optimistic no matter the size of the task. And this mantra has clearly filtered down into this week's pick from the Readers' Cars forum: the Suzuki Jimny. HorneyMX5 was after a fun and cheap off-roader and found the delightful Jimny. Already fitted with mud tyres and ready for action, it was sadly a little down on power. Yes, even for a Jimny.
A cat blockage was the culprit but easily sorted with an angle grinder. Since purchasing it the owner has been taking the muddy way home a lot and is also enjoying some green laning with a few friends on the Salisbury plains, showing the bigger cars that the Jimny can handle itself.
Now raised and fitted with roof lights, it seems like the car always has a fresh layer of mud caked on. Good work!
