The old pajero rescues another car.

My son has a friendly go at me for driving the old pajero now and then.
But he and his mates don't have a dig at me so often when it comes to the rescue , again.

Got a phone call Saturday night from one of his mates looking for my son. Broken done in his modified MX5, looking for a tow. Son hadn't got back from the round of the Qld rally championships being run that day (they went well, got a 2nd fastest on one stage and 4th overall in his freind's EVO IX).

Found him at the other side of Brisbane sat on the side of the road with the diff gone. Some expensive noises coming from it when we pushed it. So we towed it home. He had gone for a run and was keeping a 6l V8 Statesman honest in his turbo'd MX5.

So far:.
Rescued the racing beetle from Willowbank on a car trailer.
Picked up a beetle for restoration.
Returned a broken down modified EVO IIIV home from the drags. (Expensive sub 13sec 1/4 mile.)
Moved an off road buggy.
Transported tyres a few times for his mates rally car, and his race beetle.
Done a few recces for different rallies.
Done a couple of night runs out the back roads of SE Qld.
(He prefers the pajero, not as much damage hitting wild life, and it handles creek crossings better)
Helped out on the interclub challenge doing the motorkana on grass. (Managed to get the pajero up on two wheels sliding around a flag, which was a bit scary, while testing the 'circuit')

So the old slow diesel pajero is useful after all! And not such a slug.
