DOTS: beaten up 1993 Suzuki Swift GTi


This trashed 1993 black Suzuki Swift GTi has been standing near the office for quite some time and I wondered who would leave this car behind…

Apart from not having any MOT for the past six months it has been beaten up severely: mirrors are broken loose, front fender shows some big dents, scratches along the side of the car…

Rear wiper gone…

Mirror on this side broken loose as well and even more dents on the car…

Of course for most of the Dutch population this car will recall the 2009 Queensday attack where the attacker used a black Suzuki Swift and killed eight people before missing his target and crashing into some monument… I still remember seeing the footage of that attack and thought from now on any black Suzuki Swift will be a very impopular car to own/drive… Next Friday that will be one year ago exactly and I like to express my deepest respects to the victims of this madman.

DOTS: Suzuki Swift with Hello Kitty exhaust tip

I’m back from my vacation so now I will post more regularly on the blog again! :)

I’ll start with some vacation pictures of a second generation Hungarian Suzuki Swift (aka Suzuki Cultus in Japan) I spotted on the second day:

Nothing special you think? Well, look again at that exhaust tip:

I did see some pictures of these things on the internet but never saw one in real life! So of course I had to shoot these two pictures of it. ;)
