MOT Time

MOTWell it was that time of the year for me last week - the dreaded MOT test! It’s a few years since I’d had to put a car through the MOT as I’d either had a newish car that didn’t need it or had simply sold the car before needing one. As my Pajero is now 13 years old I was a little bit worried. But on the other hand she’s in great condition so I was also quietly confident she wouldn’t let me down.

Dropped her off at the garage in the morning and kept the mobile phone close to me all day. By the time it got late in the afternoon and I’d not heard anything I started to fear the worst.

Green Laning in North Yorkshire

North YorkshireOn the Sunday of my recent Big Pajero Meet a gang of us set off for a day’s green laning on the North Yorkshire Moors.

Routes had already been mapped about by the team leaders and I simply tagged along. Once we got to the action we split up into three groups with ours bringing up the rear. Our group numbered just three; Steve with wife Fran in their white 2.8, Lee with son in his blue over silver 2.5 and me.

Big Pajero Meet

Mega-Meet 2008On the 10th of May I made my way over to the Blue Dolphin holiday park near Filey for the Pajero Owners Club UK’s annual Mega-Meet. The club has many meets all over the country throughout the year, but this is the main one that attracts members from all over the country.

I decided to camp out for the first time in about 20 years, so was happy that the weather was absolutely fantastic. I stayed Saturday afternoon through to late Sunday afternoon and enjoyed every minute of it. Met lots of new faces as well as some I already knew and got thoroughly immersed in the crazy world of the Pajero. Also enjoyed an excellent barbeque on the Saturday night.

Subwoofer Now Installed

Vibe CBR10This is the final piece in the jigsaw for me in terms of upgrading my Pajero’s music system - the subwoofer.

I’d looked at various ways of adding the required bass to my system and decided an active (amplifier included) enclosed box system suited my needs the best. I read quite a few reviews on this particular box - the Vibe CBR10 Active EVO and thought I’d give it a go. I must say that after having it in place for a couple of weeks that I’m very pleased with my choice.
