what car do you drive?

[Giles]

Pajero is slang for wanker in Portugese. You see all the ex-pat Brits on the Algarve driving them and the locals saying "pajero". The brits think their car is being admired

I've heard this story as well.

Imagine driving around in a vehicle that has large decals on the side effectively saying "Wanker Turbo"!!!

I have a 8 year old Peugeot 306 soft-top, a Ford Transit 15 seat minibus (although it spends more time with half the seats out for lugging stuff as opposed to just people) and a 1961 Triumph Herald 1200 soft-top (being fixed up at present).

One of these - 9 year old v70 cross country thing wiv 4wd and whopping topbox. meaty beaty big & bouncy, but will go forever with regular servicing and the odd cambelt

The big downside of the 2.5l is the fuel consumption...

Apparently the 325 is more economical. The 320 is a bit underpowered, hauling more metal around than is good for it

holy snap batman, don't you just love the E30 touring

As standard comes with 51mm m-tech suspension (14mm lower than standard saloon), old-sckool '80's cool

Wheels are a bitch to keep clean & I'm spending £300 to get mine reconditioned

Watch out for the headlining dropping, BMW no longer make them (and carpet glue doesn't work).

Rusts around the front arches, scuttle, battery tray & tail-gate.

Spend money on bushes & tires = superb handling & fun

(just noticed your under photo comment - I'll shut up now)

Yeah, I like it. It's nice and tight and quick enough, tho I'm looking forward to getting the 325 lump into it. Got hardly any rust And I don't find the wheels too much of a pain - a good jetwash with all the frills usually does the trick.

Enjoying getting it into shape right now

I have an 8 year old 1.4 Astra. It can be a little sluggish, but isn't too thirsty on petrol.

Ok, whatever.

Yeah! the £400 hunk of junk flew through the MOT. Sorry girlfriend, you'll have to wait for your MR2 cos the old man's car still has life left in it.
