New Car
Got my new car today!
Nissan Navara Pickup, 133bhp and an obscene amount of torque. 2.5TDi
Bought it for work, but it'll be brilliant at towing cars around on my trailer.
Big Grins all the way home

Mmmmmmmmm, shiney. Shame to get it mucky with an old engine in the back.
A bit of slapstick never hurt anyone.

Daughter's bloke has the Ford Thunder which looks very similar and his has the covered load area,very handy and really impresses the kids.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I've heard these things are very thirsty even to the extent of folk getting rid of them soon after buying. It seems they can't get their
heads round the weight and aerodynamics problem and can only see an economical diesel engine
If you want a good tow car then i would recommend the new transit. We have 2 one of them a 125 280. Both capable of towing a brian james trailer with
the 760kg hotrod on it and 3 adults and 3 kids ( 2rows of seats and belts and side windows) all the race fuel and even sometimes a spare engine. It
goes 300miles on just over 3/4 tank of fuel. Others with there jeeps etc need to refuel on the way home usually.
Sorry went off on a tangent there.

Even with a mud slide on it, theres only one esential item a car needs for the M25 and thats a handbrake. How long before they put pay and displays
along the hard sholder?

it's not too bad on MPG... it's around 31 mpg if you dont go mad. Even though it seems fairly capable of loosening the rear wheels off
the lights
If they put pay and display on m25 i bet it would be £3 per hour and they'd still put road tax up

love the pick up! looked at getting either one of these or the mitsi warrior before xmas but then i went and had a bit of a outburst of insanity and
bought a totally impractical cosworth which now just sits there being polished cos i'm too scared to drive it! might find it's self being
replaced with one of these by the end of the year!

Cosworth's are not too impractical, i've known farmers use them as day to day run abouts.

when you work in the war zone that is leicester it's not practical to park and running 330bhp and only giving me 15-18mpg it's not great
on the wallet for a 25 mile roundtrip for work  my heart deffinately got me to buy it rather than my head but i still love it when i do get to drive
it

[sarcasm]Why have a deisel when you can have a petrol car that uses 3 times as much fuel?[/sarcasm]
