I'm not adverse to Japanese machinery - I even like Sushi - but I have a feeling that my 'Italian' chapter is finally coming to an end  :z6 Having already gone through my VW/Audi phase the only 'Axis' country worth continuing on to in motoring terms is Japan  :z4

I might be looking at something other than a Mitsubishi on Saturday which also comes from the land of the rising sun..... but in the meantime as I've given up waiting for anyone to work out what the hell type of Mitsubishi I've been talking about have a squint at this:
http://www.cars-directory.net/pictures/mitsubishi/rvr/pic_mitsubishi_rvr_5299.jpg

For those who like slightly weird stuff (like me) it appeals hugely, especially when you see this standard RVR Sportgear Turbo up against an American 'muscle' car:


It appeals to my sense of humour hugely, for the geeks out there it's essentially a pseudo offroader/small people carrier hybrid with (in the case of the one that appeals to me) Mitsubishi Evo 4 running gear including the 2 litre turbo engine de-tuned to 230bhp.

:z3

PS - should I consider the men in white coats with some sort of strapped jacket friendly :?  :z7

Funny you should say that Mike, before buying the Alfa 'we' considered one of those (a WRX not an STi) new on a special deal Subaru had on pre-registered cars at the time. Hindsight is a wonderful thing - should have gone for it :roll

And oddly enough... what do you suppose it is I'm going to look at on Saturday :? :wink

Put half a dozen of us on salary Mike, say £10 a week and we'll turn up for your staff party at the end of 2011  :z4

I did but was a bit of a long way round.  Just drove straight through the Urie by Cemy this morning but was deeper than I thought.  Made it O.K but was not comfortable really so went long way round.  Still big but starting to come down now, biggest spate this year so far.

Cheers

Fintray is goosed too when things get that bad, that road gets flooded too.  If I went via Dyce it would not be worth me going to work, I'd use more £ diesel than I'd earn in a day  :z4
