This week, after having spent ten years with "the beast": my black 1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT, I finally got a new car. Well more than a car really, a big, meaty 4x4. I went for the Nissan Pathfinder Aventura - 2.5L Diesel. It's beauuuuutiful! Three years old and in great condition with gadgets coming out of it's ears! Only had it for a couple of days and done a mere 150 miles, but the ride is fantastic and it's sure very different to be climbing up into the driving seat and looking down at other vehicles, than lowering myself down and laying down to look up at other cars, as with the 3000GT (I still have the Mitsubishi, however - ironically having had the missing cylinder fixed only yesterday, after it being causing me grief for about 18 months!)
So i'll be giving the Pathfinder a good run this weekend and spending a bit more time getting used to it and appreciating all that it offers. From one extreme to the other with the two cars! I intend to spend a bit of time and money over the 3000GT and get it in a bit better shape to use as an occassional car and when I fancy a change.
