Welcome to our friendly forum of Pajero owners. We are truly honoured by such a wonderful photographer as yourself, but beware there are some serious camera people on here as well :D

Seeing your history of vehicles it would be interesting to hear your comments on the Pajero from a photographer's perspective. Enjoy the new shorty!

Now get out there and take some pics :P

Welcome Roger. I have your book "Tuli Land of Giants" and pull it out from time to time when I am really homesick. Spent many many happy hours in Tuli - with Huw et al at Nokolodi (a family member is one of his partners).

Welcome Roger!!

When I saw the registration I thought - at last someone famous on the forum ( :lol: other than Alan Goodway!)

Hope you have some really cool pajero pictures to share (I'm looking for a new forum background ;) )

Many thanks for the warm welcomes. Really appreciated!

Collected the car in Umhlanga yesterday afternoon and drove it back to Howick. Was ba-lown away! What a lovely car. Will keep everyone up-to-date re trips and pix.

And not too sure what's wrong with the current background. Bloody nice pic!

And just as a bit of a follow up - I've been driving the car for about 10 days now and it continues to impress. Haven't done any off roading at this stage but what an amazing car! Looking forward to our next trip to the bush.
