yay! Found the forum again.. thought it was lost forever..
Anyway, I bought a 4x4 and I chose to follow.....
PIGNUT!
Yep, got a 2.8LWB Pajero for a real bargain price.
The rear seats fold flat to make a bed of sorts that I can sleep on lengthways (I'm 6'2") if the front seat is far forward and my feet overhang.
Now keeps the others company..
Anyone want to buy a Kamper..?
So far have only been on two mild green lane trips as it is still standard and i don't have the recovery equipment yet, nor always a following vehicle, so I only take it where i have ridden my dirtbike first to check it out in advance. Got an off road pay and play day in 2 weeks time... So far, it hasn't even hinted at coming unstuck. The river was about 2 foot deep in the middle and it was fine. The final little play area was a heck of a lot steeper than it looked- the camera doesn't catch it well. The only bit to deck out was the tow hitch.
This wa smy mates very first time driving off road, hence easy and very slow.. (turn down volume if sense of humour deficient..
been dying to use that track for something!!
)
and part 2
All in, I'm VERY pleased with it. It is solid as a rock and fairly economical. I'm running it on 70% diesel, 30% veg oil from Tescos, which saves about £20 for a full tank, and at that mix ratio has no adverse effect and needs no mods. As of the end of this month, as long as you use no more than 2500 litres of veg oil a year as fuel you do not need to register with Customs and Excise and do not need to pay tax. You DO have to keep receipts though so that you can keep an eye on quantities and prove you are a small user.
