Wanna hear a funny story....

Post by Grantw »

Has a guy ring me about my pajero yesterday... Was interested to know how it handles at high speed. I explained that with the swaybar on and shocks set to hard, it handles 110kmh fairly well and thats fully loaded. He proceeded to tell me that he drives at 160kmh :shock: :shock: loaded. I started being a smart ass and said that he would need to stop for fuel every hour at that speed! That was not a problem because he will be towing a trailer that will have fuel and gear in.

I laughed so hard........... I thought it was a prank caller but this dude was fully serious.

However if he has cash i dont care how he drives it

Mine does 160 quite easily but I aint recommending you try.. Bit ordinary at 140 plus. Not that i ever drive over the speed limit to know. :roll:

um i am a bit confused here, i got the 3L and have wound it up to 170km and it was still pulling, shame the corner was too. The Pajaro is a brilant on road car that can handle high speed and corners farken well to. The breaks do have a tendecy to catch on fire but that requres alot of corners and a good hill :)

Everything is for sale for a price. Definately wont give it away, so I may have it for another week, or even another year.... I will deal with it when a serious buyer comes along.... I dont get attached to vehicles like some people do. If I regret selling it down the track, I can easily build another.
