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
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.

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.
