Whatever happened to the.....

[Zak33]

Mitsubishi Shogun "Pinin" ?

Iknow it was made and sold, but Idont ever see any

Anyone seen one around where they live? Its a little version of a Shogun, redisgined in mini-replication...by Pininfarina.

Thought it would have done well...and I don't know WHY I just thought of it, but there's none to be seen

Sad really....any new on it guys?

[gobbo]

Seen one by my local Chip Shop, guy who owns the shop has one. Tinted windows et al.

[5lab]

when did they start making them?

[Zak33]

dunno..about 4 years ago...I think.

Seems such a waste.....its simply a mini version and totally drivable


wonder if Tumble sees any in the mud pluggin game



they are Mitsu...after all

[Zak33]

I still see a few, I knew a guy who had one a few years ago. They're dumpy, clumsy little thinks if you ask me, like a Ford Ka that's been soundly thrashed with the ugly stick. Give me a Suzuki Samurai anyday.

Edit: Or a double cab pickup of some description.

Rich :¬)

Seen one on my local off road course thing last time i was down there, they handle emselves pretty well

[Tumble]

yeah there's a few of them round here, but they're all shopping trolleys Most of the mud-pluggers over here tend to go for Suzuki SJ's, Datty 410's or Landys...

saw one yesterday, parked outside tescos

[TomWilko]

Never seen one, the only Mitsubishi's I ever seem to see are them oversize 'Warrior' things and 'Shoguns.' Great cars tho

Those the old square suzukis? if they are i've seen em go round an off road course, they're f00kin nippy litle things, strong aswell seen someone roll one twice and still drive it home

[Tumble]

yeah matey - here's one



Pimped from the 4x4 club webby - www.iom4x4.com There's a rather large picture gallery

angon, didnt they have 998cc engines? what use are they offroad?

[Zak33]

you'd be suprised........I was....I was taken to hating them, cos they suck as road cars....should have guessed.

Tumble brought his vid camera to mine last year and I watched his 4x4 mates giving it death.....well....giving it muddy death

And the little SJ rollover beasts seem very popular

Wierd huh? I'd always choose a Lada tho...Ilove Lada....and Niva's are HARD (tm)
