Notorious E.G.G.

That weird noise from the rear of the AW11 still annoys me and I haven’t been driving that much. Meanwhile, Mr. Kylie’s 1984 Suzuki Carry “Notorious E.G.G.” has gotten plenty of attention.

The engine itself:

…and finally, a huge oil spill

That Suzuki is a really positive car. Everyone has a smile when you drive around and there hasn’t been a single negative comment from anyone. Some people even laugh, but 99% of time everyone laughs because the car looks so funny. Never this “MUHAHAHA LOOK AT THAT SHITTY THING” laughing, which sucks.

I think people would laugh even more if they knew about the 0.8L F8A engine with 30hp (or our ongoing debate about turbocharging the engine). With turbo the Suzuki would be the fastest deathtrap on the road (empty weight 725kg, check out the top gear bedford rascal flip).

Funny little thing 🙂

Check the boot lid, there is a silly sticker from the 80’s already 😀 Hmm… I guess I could do some stupidity with this van… hmm… 😉

That van is so awesome, I would use that as a daily driver so hard. It’s begging to be sign written/silly stickered :DD
