Wrong wrong wrong, someone actually spent a lot of time designing and building that AND there must have been people around him/her encouraging it and saying how smart it looks

I actually quite like it

It's no more 'wrong' in terms of the 7 concept than putting a stupidly large and heavy engine with 3 million horsepower in a 7 chassis and it looks pretty well done - whether I would have spent the time bothering to do it is a completely different matter

I won't be building one myself or making him an offer any time soon.

But fair play to him for building it.
Fair play to anyone that builds anything different, no matter what the rest of the world might think about it.

I believe it was designed in response to all the griping and ranting about traffic calming that has appeared on here!

The little Suzukis are the weapon of choice for doing off road trials on a budget & have a reputation for giant killing.
The seven style body will have reduced weight further & COG will be lowered so it'll likely be even better.

Cant say it'll win any beauty contests though, it aint pretty!

It's MUCH wrongerer! At least an eleventy million BHP '7' still looks like a 7 and doesn't have 18 inches of ground clearance.

I seriously hope he never has to find out how inadequate the roll bar is either

I live up the road from an off road center and a few miles away from the buggest off road place in Europe (apparently!) and I can safely say that the little Suzukis can whoop the hoops off most of the bigger 4x4s. And I'm a Landy fan! If I was to be out clarty-holing, I'd be happy behind the wheel of that 4x4/7 thing. At least I wouldn't have to look at it if I was driving it!
