Pajero drivers?

Any Pajero drivers here? Found out today that in Argentina pajero means wanker. So a Pajero Full means complete wanker?
Anyone know any others like this?

I drive a pajero and I think it is a wonderful motor car. I do think anyone using Lada bits is a tosser not a wanker.

Dear God,
I was expecting you to be in charge of a fiery chariot at the very least. Perhaps the 4 wheel drive is less obtrusive and helps you get around the muddier parts of this world

I've heard that, many years ago, Chevrolet wanted to sell the Nova in Mexico. They had to change the name, however, because Nova (no va) means "no go" to the Mexican people. Can't have a "no go mobile", can we?

If you say so... Yawn Yawn Yawn

Actually, I wasn't calling anybody anything. An amusing story twas all.
If you could find another suitable RWD here in Brazil, well done!
Anyway, what is the difference, dare I ask of God, between a wanker and a tosser.

cheers

It's all in the distance, about 2 feet I think..

Because of that, the Pajero is sold as the "Montero" here in Spain. And yes, it means that. "No va" means "it doesn't go" literally!!

BTW, it means "wanker" not as in "asshole" but in the literal sense of the word, "person who practices[..]" you know.

I'm told (not sure of validity) the Foden had to change their name in one of the scandinavian type countries to Toden cos Foden meant F*ck!
