Ok so maybe not a focus ST anymore but a..
22. Dec 2009 at 17:02

Nissan Navara, what they like experience, my man has got one for sale and I'm quite interested in it 56 plate, Navara aventura, sat-nav, BOSE, the lot leather etc.

It's got 38k miles and is very nice 22" chrome alloys and it's black but I said he could keep the alloys and bullbar if he takes some money off?

Anyone have experience with them?

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Walked into that didn't I Grin

He's asking £10295 I said I'll give you £8500 if you keep alloys and bullbar, but it's really got me into the Idea of them in Aventura spec Undecided

Dec 2009 at 17:08 they used them on Long Way down with Ewan & Charlie, looked capable I had a Nissan as a first car, did 25k in it, never checked the oil, filters, or anything. Never let me down! Mother tunnies spare car is a Nissan Almera, bit dull, if i am honest, but its been bullet proof in reliability

You can't go wrong with Japanese and Nissan. We have had an Almera and Almero Tino too. They don't run in till 40,000 miles and don't go wrong. Can be a bit tinny though but then again the Japanese seem to use thinner metal on their cars?

The only problem I've had with the Almera's is the tyres wearing out on the inside edge.

Yeah i'd go with that, not the solid feel you get from the Omega.
