Guest oldskool Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 They're one of the toughest trucks around, no wonder they're are the choice of terrorists and Gorilla fighters world wide, did you ever see the Top Gear episode where they tried to wreck one??? they just couldn't kill it! dropped it on top of caravans, threw it in the sea, and then set it on top of a block of flats and blew the flats up from underneath it. all they done was put oil in it and recconnected the battery. it actually drove to the studio. it would be my choice,,, if i could afford one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MIKE 18 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) I know a couple of people that have had them and reckon they are a good work horse, not great offroad due to there being no weight on the arse end and absolutely shite on fuel like most 4x4 though .Have you still got your Pajero Ian ? Still got mine got some nice new wheels and other bits on it since I bought it though ..........stainless steel exhaust didn't half improve the fuel consumption and gave more power too ............
