dave j Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 How about my SWB Pajero? http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=bugmot&action=display&thread=102394Dont know how long it is as I am not near it at the moment but I know its shorter than my Bora!
maxpower Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 i just entered the 4x4 world got a 1992 pajero 2.5td swb.... will post pics later 1 yrs ticket and 2mths rent on it too
MK5 Escort Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Decent motors, the old Terios. There was a 'T' reg purple one around the corner from where I used to live. Old boy owned from new and only done 60k-odd. Spotlessly clean and steel wheels to boot. I doubt it ever mounted so much as a kerb in it’s life. I'm sure it’s knocking around AutoTrader classifieds somewhere but can't seem to find it now . It was going pretty cheap, so no doubt it's probably gone now. Yes, the Ssangyoung Musso – a heck of a lot of 4x4 for the money, there. I did once experience the later Daewoo version when I was new and I must admit, sh*te as it was, I really quite liked it… Frontera? Jesus, even as a self-confessed Vauxhall fan, even I’d say 'no'!
red5 Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Oi. Nowt wrong with a Fronterror. Unless it's the 2.216v rodThrowerâ„¢ or the 2.5 WhoredRoundAllAndSundryâ„¢.
Justin Case Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Early Suzuki Vitara? Just over 13ft long and another cheap as chips one, but in your calling I would avoid anything looking like this, which may reduce your choice somewhat

Cavcraft Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Are you telling us you're not 'good with colours' there FT?
Father Ted Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 Bloody awful, and Im not wearing comfortable shoes either.....
warren t claim Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Oddly enough most of the gay blokes I've known drive quite butch cars. One had a string of Sapphire Cosworths and another had a TR7 with a Rover V8 installed. Neither had ever shown a liking for pink Vitaras or even the occasional Mazda MX5.
Father Ted Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 In all honesty the only person I can see driving that is any female between the age of 17 and 19 years old with bleached blond hair and a name that ends in "on" or "ey" (like Shanon, Sharon, Dion, Tracey, Stacey, Lacey and so on).And off the top of my head GLBT people I know own:Ford KugarRover 25Pug 206 (surprisingly popular)Drop top AstraCorsaCit BXCit C3 I dont think there is a typical GLBT vehicle except the 206, which a few people I know own.

And enjoys pubbin an clubbin. She probably can't start a sentence on Facebook without using the abbreviation OMG either. I hate her already.
Father Ted Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-SUZUKI-I ... _500wt_949 Back on topic, this seems very cheap.
steve austin Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Just sold a 46k mile low owner Vitara JX 1.6 hard top 1999 on T plate with full years mot and hardly a spot of grot for £800...............
dollywobbler Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I've driven a couple of Vitaras. My main memory is the noise! Sound deadening is for LUZERZ. One was a V6. Which sounded absolutely shit.
cort16 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Cheap 51 Sportage.

Cavcraft Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Has anyone mentioned a Feelander yet? Hopefully not, they're f*cking rubbish.
scooters Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I had a Kia on rental last year - not bad but the one I had was a dud and the immobilizer failed - if we bought cars with our heads everyone would drive a Kia - new ones have an absurd warranty... mind you it was fucking horrible and had no character whatsoever - give me a shitetrak any day!
Cavcraft Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 If it's at a dealer's Ted make sure the warranty covers the fuel pump and there's proof of regular oil changes using quality stuff.
Father Ted Posted July 21, 2011 Author Posted July 21, 2011 Is the 2.2 Diz an ishooozooo unit or one of Vauxhalls own things?
red5 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Vx own. Fuel pumps can be a bit fragile. Injector seals can leak - starts ok if pointed downhill but not up, 4x4 front diff actuator/boost control all done by vac pipe which perishes.Do NOT run em on bio/veg oil. That's about it. Decent economy/performance. Sam, on his 4th.
autohausdolby Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Sorted. We took one an a Dakar stage I thought about doing a suspension raise on it but the made from cheese driveshafts put me off.
autohausdolby Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Actually read the ad now - I didn't know they did an actual 4x4 one! EPIC. Gr8 4 loading pigs and baskets of eggs.
Ratdat Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I had a look at a Pajero Junior the other day. It's really tiny... possibly smaller than a Jimny even and only has a 1.1 four pot but felt remarkably spritely (albeit because it's very low geared). Really well equipped too and reasonably funky looking. I didn't get because it was starting to rust a bit but I'd definately buy one if one turned up at the right money in decent shape. Here's one... I had a drive in an HRV a while back too. Kind of liked it but it was pretty slow TBH. They look great though.
Father Ted Posted July 21, 2011 Author Posted July 21, 2011 I had a look at a Pajero Junior the other day. It's really tiny... Looks rather nice and funky, but the only one I can find is £4K and thats £2K over my top line
Ratdat Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I saw one for sale online in Deal in kent for £2k. Bit of a long way though.
Formula Autos Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 These come in 4x4 form, and would no doubt be OK for tackling unmade roads with: Would an early Impreza be small enough? Something like this spec being best, obviously:Steel wheels FTW.
