I am on the 190K mileage so I am not sure how long it will go before it retires. I will be getting another one if I land a full time job and get some loot!<br /><br />Regarding the karma.. yes.. indeed it is a bitch.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00594501161073415313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-88980910117392735512011-02-27T15:30:25.501+03:002011-02-27T15:30:25.501+03:00There's a reason Paj's won the Paris-Dakar...There's a reason Paj's won the Paris-Dakar on so many occasions, while they have become a bit blanc-mange in recent years, underneath all that electrical gadgetry there is still some of the original desert killing DNA from before..<br /><br />A heritage that GMC can't even hope to contest.<br /><br />Having said all that, my limited experience off road (here at least) has been nothing but the opposite... perhaps those guys were lost?<br /><br />Then embarrassed it would seem...<br />(probably went to get help... lest he became 'sandy')Abudhabilisthttp://www.abudhabilist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-34925172294273575092011-02-25T00:28:52.699+03:002011-02-25T00:28:52.699+03:00And why not many Vauhaull Novas were sold in Spain...And why not many Vauhaull Novas were sold in Spain - No Va = doesn't go<br />Love karma :-) she always comes back to bite you on the bum!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-76779787617448294332011-02-24T16:57:52.896+03:002011-02-24T16:57:52.896+03:00But did you light a cigarette and stand back to wa...But did you light a cigarette and stand back to watch GMC man struggle out of the sand?Mrs Dubaihttp://mrsdubai.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-51057988175482623222011-02-24T11:28:55.049+03:002011-02-24T11:28:55.049+03:00Sarah - that is my understanding and, I'm told...Sarah - that is my understanding and, I'm told, why it's called a 'Shogun' in Europe.<br /><br />Amusingly, my old car in the UK was a Toyota MR2 which couldn't be sold in France under that name as it's pronounced Emm Ayr Deu in French, or 'Shitty'.Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141884153180374138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-35705551812339930172011-02-24T11:15:23.143+03:002011-02-24T11:15:23.143+03:00Somebody once told me that "pajero" was ...Somebody once told me that "pajero" was Spanish for w@nker. Don't know if it's true, and not insinuating that is an appropriate term for you, but funny for me because I don't have it written on my car. I wouldnt be surprised however if they made a mistake and the word "silverado" was the one they were thinking of. <br />I drive a Volvo, and that's italian for "driver needs 10 airbags"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458505422126658793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-6002530787725136692011-02-24T10:34:54.792+03:002011-02-24T10:34:54.792+03:00Khaled - exactly!

I've always only ever seen people helping out offroad - on one occasion a friend of mine got terribly mired in the sabkha between Ajman and UAQ and a group of local guys got filthy dirty up to their knees in mud helping him out.<br /><br />It's why I was so dumbstruck!Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141884153180374138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-78588711592777985852011-02-24T10:18:18.153+03:002011-02-24T10:18:18.153+03:00Your poor car!

Pajero is truly a great car, definitely excellent value for money.<br /><br />Second, I've been stuck in merciless pits of sand many times throughout my 31 years of life here in the UAE and I must say, I have never ever came across a crowed (especially locals) who were not willing to help. Some really went out of their way to do so as well.<br /><br />As for that GMC fellow, if it is really him who refused to help, then hurray to Karma indeed :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205158926948096756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-26352678114756494552011-02-24T10:07:25.249+03:002011-02-24T10:07:25.249+03:00Ah the sweet taste of karma!Ah the sweet taste of karma!Mitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052007884871469490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-58642761895850927392011-02-24T09:29:28.872+03:002011-02-24T09:29:28.872+03:00amen to karmaamen to karmaAhsan Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00292662384634151668noreply@blogger.com
