I think the Mitsubishi was probably a Shogun - confusung when they call them different things in different countries!

If you liked the Mitsu, you'll love the new 3.6 turbo diesel V8 in the Range Rover which outs out 472lb of torque at 1750rpm and nearly 30mpg! Rumour has it being fitted to Jaguars soon to go with the 2.7 diesel already fitted.

Parking in England is always a challenge - cities designed for horses don't make many allowances for the motor car! :)

Shogun - now I remember. Old age is h*ll - memory being the second thing to go and I can never remember the first. :-) Thanks! My wife came over for my last 10 days in Bristol - we had been to London/Portsmouth (I'm an ex-USN guy) many times but not anywhere else. Went to Bath and she absolutely marveled at the parking/lack thereof. Still miss the right-hand drive, gearshift in left hand - felt like a James Bond character on the M4 - never got used to the rear-view mirrors from the right-hand driver's seat, though.
