if you want to zoom in on safari you do the gesture on the mouse, sort of like picking something up only in reverse.
That pickup £383 in our money isnt too bad for a huge engine.

Shoguns.
The go karting place in Portadown does off roading in a couple of SWB Shoguns / Pajeros.
One is a manual and one is an automatic. They seem to be quite good off road, albeit on their designed track.
They have a large see-saw, and a game to try and balance the thing. Quite scary when it comes flipping down the other way :shock:
PSNI love the "Sport" Shoguns. There was one in the news on that Rual Moat story because the English police forces lent a few because they are bulletproof :shock:

They are good workhorses, but yet ours was a ball of trouble.
AC pump, clutch, diff, and severe corrosion on a 2001.

a clapped out pile of sh*t so bad pictures cant be shown.

Why would you tell someone to look at it without actually providing any pictures.

:shock:

"runs 100% but needs the sparkplugs cleaned every now and again" - Having to clean sparkplugs is not 100% functionality. I work as a tester and this would be classed as a severe defect.

"a little bit of tlc would mot this car again" - Why does a car that runs 100% need some TLC?

"it also needs a battery" - A car that needs a battery wont start and run, therefore is not running 100%.

"only lookin rid cus i dont have enough room for it" = Only looking rid of it because I wrecked it.

The coupe is probably about the right money for a 2.0 with over 100k.

The white saloon should have looked familiar to the long termers here though:

Looks like a bit of effort went into it. Leather off a D8.

Still not my cup of tea though, and would flag alarm bells if looking to buy I'm afraid.

The ruined one i think ive seen it about armagh.
Eyebrows dont suit the 406, and why lower the 406, especially the 90bhp one, the 110 is slow enough as it is.

Mines not slow, it still spins the wheels, but its not exactly fast compared to other 2.0 diesels. I wouldnt want a 90bhp because that would be slow.
