Suzuki Cappuccino
I'm quite taken with the idea of buying one of these. I liked them a lot in the mid 90s but not for the price, anyway I'm thinking of
getting one. Does anyone on here know anything about them? What should I look out for?

Gayest car this side of a street Ka.
Plus they're tiny I'd need one for each foot like roller skates!

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I used to have a smart roadster, which is a more modern take on the same idea - handles brilliantly, but needed a better gearbox. Engine power could
have been a bit more but a better 'box would've been much more effective.
I've often wondered if an R1 or GSXR unit could go into one nicely (seen it done in the smart fortwo, but never the roadster - yet )
I've also often wondered if a GSXR 1000 would go into a cappucino....

Smartuki say they can do roadsters just the same as they do the Four-two (try
here). I really fancy one - I tried the Roadster, and loved the handling, but hated
the engine/box combo.... Crying out for a large/turbo bike engine!
As for the Cappuccino - I quite like 'em. Never been in one (I really don't think I'd fit!), and they are a bit different....

Oh yes ducky, I'm the gayest of the gay but even I wouldn't buy a Cappuccino, what with it being too............gay

I never even noticed they were RWD (I dont look into gay cars) until I had to buy one in GT5 on the playstation.
ITS AWESOME!! Fantastic lightweight driftable fun! I totally want one in real life now. Also - appparently one featured in Initial D, making it
instantly a sub-zero cool car.
Get one!
Liam
