Monarch of the road
6 December 2005 (81)

Salisbury, UK

The Beast is back!

Finally, after four months off the road
-- my beloved Isuzu Bighorn (an imported Trooper) -- is back.
(I had to wait a day to take this photo, as it was dark when it was delivered....)

Almost certainly caused by turbo failure, it now sports a new cylinder head, new (different model) turbo,
and a completely rebuilt bottom end; and purrs like a pussy cat, rather than rattling like a tin box full of bones....
It also accelerates smoother than a baby's bottom....

If anyone from Car magazine or Top Gear is reading this, you know where I am...!

(And I apologize if this isn't the most exciting photograph in the world...
-- but it does it for me!?! (Just wait until tomorrow's...!))

(And, no, the irony of parking a 4x4 in the car park
of my local Waitrose isn't lost on me....)
