Damn, these Jimnys are infectious! Almost exactly two years ago we acquired our 3-door Jimny to assist with our ZA Bikers content creation in difficult-to-access places. Little did we realise at the time what an amazing journey we were embarking on. As is the case with Jimny buyers, we found so many cool goodies for our Jimny it soon took on a persona of its own (which we recorded in our ongoing Jimny Blog).
We attended the historic Jimny Gathering in Clarens and enjoyed every minute of it. We cannot deny, that the Jimny bug has sunk its teeth into us properly!
So, if you have been infected by the Jimny bug, how do you treat this condition? You get another Jimny, that’s what!
When Simon started investigating and researching the new 5-door Jimny I knew where things were going. It was only a matter of time, and forsooth, I was right! This immediately put me in a quandary. My Suzuki Grand Vitara 4×4 is sort of due for replacement and suddenly Simon’s Jimny was firmly on my radar. So, to cut a long story short, I am taking over our beloved pimped-out Jimny.
We are already planning some epic adventures together so watch this space… Simon on the other hand, is looking to pimp his new ride in all sorts of ways, so that too will be an unfolding story. In fairness, the 5-door suits his needs way better. He still does the school run and such, whereas my adventures are just with Irene, so we don’t need more than three doors.
With the wisdom of hindsight, it was our Jimny that spawned the idea of expanding our offering with ZA Lifestyle. Embracing the great outdoors that is so in our DNA as South Africans. When we explore our beautiful land and beyond its borders, we are reminded of just how blessed we are to live on this Continent.
Join us on our typical bike trips and Jimny Journeys as we continue sharing our experiences whilst travelling across our vast land. Watch too how we adapt our Jimny’s for the micro-overlanding that they lend themselves to.
