Thanks CATS,
Been here before (incognito) to read all the interesting things. Just had to register to become part of what seems to be a very decent crowd and to look for answers to so many questions, once I've figured out how to do more than introduce myself (one of the technologically disadvantaged with no kids in th house to show me how).
Merry Christmas to you, your family and the rest of the Pajero lovers.

Thanks Kurt,
From what I've learnt so far,I have to find a way into your good books once I get round to upgrading to floating-dash pajero. Or I'll just hold you to Cats's promise above:)
Hope you have a lovely Christmas like mine promises to be; woken up by thunder at 5:00 with soft rain and some of the kids coming over later on for some of Mom's famous leg of lamb. Life is perfect!

Nicb,

Nic,
Cloyd is the guy with the V8 AC Cobra with the noisy exhaust pipes.... I'm sure you will have heard him roaring down Braam Petoors.

Why don't you two old jobless V6 owners pool your petrol money and join us on the mountain again next year.

Nic, just in case you don't know: I adore all V6 Pajeros and jealousy can make me nasty.

Welcome here and I trust you will have lots of positive input.

Dankie. Ek sal my oë (en ore) oophou vir die Cobra, ek ry natuurlik omtrent daagliks in Braam P.
Thanks Roelf, as far as Pajeros are concerned everything is allowed and/or forgiven. Although not so poweful the 3.5 is a lovely motor, but with the offroad caravan in tow, I dream of the torque from a Did.
Nic
Ps what's this mountain business, sounds like fun as long as the mountain in question is not Ventersberg, Fouriesburg.

Nic,
Have a look under the "Plan an event" section and look for "Tie in the Dots".

Roelf,

A bit of a side track: the noisy exhaust pipes and the accompanying Cobra is on it's way out to a new owner. The exchange - Cobra for RRRR - will take place early in Jan.

.....en stadig met die oud!!!!!!
