Fuji Shooter Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Our lad has been accepted to join the Under 17 car club (he is 12) They meet up at tracks and venues around the country and the kids drive around courses etc, sounds like fun to me. Anyway the requirement is that the car has to be manual with 4 seats, so it looks like I will have to chop in the jeep as its auto and a bit too big for him to use. Our other cars are not really suitable and I don't want to buy another car I would have to insure to use every now and then. Maybe looking to get a Suzuki Vitara or Jimny (do they come with an Escort or do you have to get your own? Anyway, can you get a bail of hay in either of these as it would need to be used by HID for animal transport. Would Suzuki be the best type of motor or is there something better I should look at.

crazyfarmerboy Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 as they are not driving on the road (so do not need insurance) could you not get a trailer and a small car and tow it to the venue's and events they will be driving at? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I did think about that but we don't really have the space for another car and a trailer so it would be easier to just swap out the jeep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll second that but you will still have to drop the back seat if it's a Frontera Sport version which is a short wheel base to get any reasonable load in the back. I have a Frontea Sport 2.0 Petrol which haas never let me down, it's great for off road work and with mine you can remove the rear section of the roof by just undoing 4 clips and moving the back seet forwards to make it into a great 4X4 for shooting from!
