Saw a silver mitsubishi Pajero Evolution parked at my local gym last week, what've they got under the bonnet? It looked like it was going straight into the Paris-Dakar rally!

A family friend owned one new a couple of years ago, and he used to lend it me from time to time.
A rich man's toy, and silly quick for an off roader, but VERY scary in the wet (only part time 4wd) and thirsty.
He sold it when it got damaged. The parts took 3 months to finally arrive from Japan.

Nearly bought one of these before my Evo6...
what can you say its mental.. great grunt, supported by dealers, evil looks, nice recaros...
downside is you turn the wheel and then wait whilst the car decides to go in the direction....
If you fancy something quick and different its the one.. though i'm sure, as i decided, the novelty will wear off ! Great second car in my opinion

A friend of mine has one as well as a Skyline GTR33, which is white with the big red mud flaps etc, and tinted windows - Now no joke this thing will have a Boxter to 60Mph - After that aerodynamics take over - But it is funny embarrasing sports cars..

Dont they have the same gearbox (or related to) from the FTO? I drove one about 4 years ago and it was great and quite a head turner as well. Though I can see why parts take so long to get.
