New ride (again)
#1
Decided that I REALLY don't go to the petrol station enough, so bought a car that will fix that.

2000 X reg Pajero LWB import. 3.2l diesel engine with an auto box, its just sort of wafts along.

Climate  control, heated electric seats, generally lovely all round with a brilliant view of the road around you! Indicator on the other side  is slightly annoying, but i've only put the windscreen wipers on by accident a few times.

I very nearly decided that about petrol stations and bought a 3.2 V6 Frontera (202bhp) but was crying at the thought of £500 road tax and 200 miles to a tank

I will in the future i'm sure, needs a bit of tidying up at the moment and I need to put a picture of the rear heater pipe up on POCUK so they can tell me if its rusty enough to warrant changing.

Currently on beard #3, been growing this one since May. 1st was April-Dec last year and I shaved it off for charity, then Jan-May when I shaved it off for an interview (which did didn't get   Angry )

X reg so flat rate of tax, and i'm expecting 400ish from a 92 litre tank! Havent brimmed it yet but that is going to be PAINFUL! Only 158bhp here but a whopping 373nm of torque according to parker

Was gonna get a silly Jag/Merc petrol that'd do 25mpg, thought to myself "might as well get something actually useful!"

A lad at work I used to work with, let his beard grow long, for sake of it. The lasses at work complained about him hahaha, I tried to grow a sole patch, but it never seen to get any longer. Are you bald or is your head just shaved? as you would could do the MR T look!

Shaved, am going grey and top is thinning! Did the "man in denial" thing and I keep it shaved now.

*edit* attached a photo from November last year, showing my biggest attempt at a beard.

Bet no one's ever told you that your heads on upside down! lol

Always fancied one of these myself, hope you're not planning on spraying any of it bright green this time though? Tongue

EDIT: A Pajero, not a beard. Can't grow a beard to save my life! lmao

No bright green this time. A different colour alloy is in the pipework, but she needs a good service and some rust cleanup before I do anything extra to her

£30 of diesel doesn't half fill a 306 either lol, I'd hope its more than a 60 litre tank on those tbh! Confused

Parkers says 29mpg, Pajero owners club reckon closer to 20.

*edit* 12 miles both ways to work, 18 gallon tank, if I do 24 mpg ill need 1 tank of fuel a month. Not TOO bad!

I agree, if poor Rusty could read, i'm sure she'd feel a little bit under appreciated!
