Default My VN Lexcen is gone

I swapped my VN for a Pajero LWB 7 Seater, A/C, P/str wagon plus $1200.

Recon Motor, Gearbox, suspension and front hubs in the last two years. It needs a starter motor, as it plays up, and an exhaust in the near future. Well I have $1200 spare to do that with.
I can't believe, being a 4WD, that is quieter and smoother than my VN.
I'm getting gas fitted for $300 ($3300 minus $3000 rebate) also.

Can I stay on the forum given how some would view this as embarrassing?

Anything is quieter and smoother than a V6 VN.

$2000 state rebate and $1000 federal, or the other way round I can't remember.
And the 'Wanker" just won 4WD of the year. I'm happy selling them.

So am I a wanker or is it my car? I know already that the Pajero has no balls so I'm assuming it has nothing to wank.

In the price range of the Paj no Patrol is very capable off road. Maybe an old G60 but they are shocking on the road.
A lot of money has to spent on the pre-coil spring Patrols to get them to be good off road.
I'm happy enough with the Paj as it is more capable than many realise (once lifted, mine has 50mm extra) but they lack power. Well they have 12kW less, at 78kW, than the MQ 2.8 litre and weigh considerably less.

I'll just drive in the bush, mud and sand and sit next to Patrols whilst we wait for Lada Nivas, Suzuki Sierras or Rangies to pull us out.
