Welcome here

You probably never put a foot wrong, especially not in the Pajero!

Hello

Nice post, I think I must do one like that to.

You got my attention on your previous 4x4 vehicles, I will agree with your feeling regarding the Jeep, did not have one myself but had friends that had and that was enough.
I do wonder about the Chef Trailblazer though, what was your experiences in it?
We have a family member with one and he is very happy with it, since I grew up with Isuzu on my mind that was always a option for me... but then I bought a Pajero and enjoy it a lot. Except for the fact that I still wait for it from the mechanic where it received a new head.

Enjoy the forum, I find it very helpful.

Regards

Welcome, lovely wee beastie that

HI Guys

Thanks for the welcomes, to answer Luiperd. I was very happy with the Chevy it was great on the open road good mix in the sand but a bit big for me in town to park etc. Low fuel consumption but not so great build quality inside.

I did around 80000kms on her and no problems what so ever. Except when some idiot wrote me off and t.boned me at a traffic light the car was repaired but sorry to say never the same. So i sold it and bought my second Jeep.

1st one was a 2012 Wrangler 2.8 but kept on having overheating issues and gearbox problems. Traded that in. The 2nd was a 2016 Jeep cherokee 3.2 v6 9 speed trailhawk. Rubbish to say the least never knew what gear it wanted and had diff whine from 15000kms. Jeep said they ordered the parts but could never fix it and lied to me when they said they had done the repairs but in fact had not done any. Lost my trust in jeeps all together and hence never again.

Lol so i sold that bought 2 brand new Platkar fords one focus ST for me and a ecosport for wifey. Not having any 4wd in my life, i now own a very decent well looked after 06 3.8 Paj. Its our toy and holiday car for adventures.
