    Hi all, My name's Daniel and I'm currently saving up for my first VR-4. My current vehicle is a 96' 2.8 Pajero which is a bit of a change from my previous 3 cars.

    1st: Road legal racing mini, which was just stupidly hilarious at taking corners. Was all solid mounted including the engine.

    2nd: MR2, which was totally abused and had a fair amount of modifications and parts upgraded.

    3rd: Supra, this was totally mint in the genuine sense of the word, but wasn't a trailer queen.

    I'm very track orientated, so far I've done numerous Track days at my local circuit. (Snetterton) Drag racing, Drifting and Auto testing. Also have itchy fingers in modifying both for performance gains and tasteful body mods. None of this Halfords bolt on nonsense here! My father had a Gallant and that was really nice. So now I need a vehicle that is both practical and quick, so here I am.

    Thanks Mike! The Pajero, albeit a change of pace has been a real laugh on rough terrain. Yep certianly! Always wanted a proper mean looking JDM street sleeper with boot space, the VR4 ticks all those boxes for me.

    I had a Delica L300 which is same chassis/4wd as the Pajero.....that bus got some looks when i took it top the top of a welsh mountain!

    As for JMD sleeper, the Legnum is a hoot. I was on way to the tip in mine with a three seater couch hanging out the boot, still smoked a fiesta ST full of chavs off the line!

    Haha yeah I do like the Delicias too, must've been comical seeing that at the top of a mountain. Seen some mean looking ones that have a 6" lift.

    That's awesome, even dads old 2.0 Gallant was really quick off the line for what it was. Can't wait to go on the hunt for one, Just love the look of them over the Legacy.
