hello all , just thought i would pop in and say hi ( prompted my a pm from mattyprice

) still got the 600 diesel and its still as reliable as ever passed its mot a month ago after i replaced a brake light bulb , not evem an advisory .
just been busy of late with a couple of mitsubishi shogun v6`s i bought 1 an automatic which i have just finished converting to sequential lpg and the other is a manual which had been stood in a lockup in the lake district for almost 3 yrs with its engine in a 1000 pieces but i love a challenge .
and after 1 week going through it freeing off brakes and rebuilding the motor it passed its mot 1st shot .
i done about a 1000 mls in it now including a trip down to exeter at the weekend 510 mls and its running perfectly .
i have a soft spot for the mitsubishi mk2 shoguns and pajero`s they are so reliable and versatile , as well as being very comfortable with an excellent driving position , the 620 diesel still gets loads of use though but mainly by my missus julie , she loves the car .
anyway thats enough of me droning on wont leave it as long next time before i visit again lol.

it was in bowness on windermere andy , the guy was a builder and it took ages to shift all the stuff stacked around the car so that i could tow it out of the lock up , oh what fun

.......................not .
then once i had coupled the shogun up on to my oneman towing frame shunting it around those narrow streets full of tourists was an experiance as well
