Well, I was on youtube and I happened across a video of what appears to be a Suzuki MightyBoy, this is the first time I've heard of them, and at first I thought it was just a modified swift, but that isn't the case. Just what is this MightyBoy?

Our Aussie friends are going to laugh at us. Although not as numerous as the swifts, this rig has a cult following in Australia and NZ. You can see some fine examples on Redline and cardomain. :lol: 8)

Unfortunately these cars are very rare here in NZ, I'm guessing but maybe ten, this one is real nice and everytime I drive past it I long for it more and more, and if I did get one I wouldn't be sticking stupidly large wheels on it :evil:
Sorry about photo quality, took it using my phone while driving by last week, these cars are REALLY small :mrgreen:

Yeah I think the photo's are a bit deceptive.. they are a lot smaller than a MK1. They make the MK1 feel spacious.

YLDB0Y from RedlineGTi drives a boosted one:

I wonder, are these mightyboys allwheel drive? And why exactly did Suzuki make them, they are interesting and very unique.

Is that why the guy in the green shirt is wearing a wire? Are the police involved?

wonder why they called them "Mightyboy", seems very contradicting, considering the 25hp, 10inch wheels, and tiny body.

Too true, and the other part of the fact is, that thing is so tiny, I bet you it makes all the swifts look like fat overweight pigs.
