It was a bittersweet fairwell seeing my Unicorn, my Mistress and the bane of my existance for 5 months drive off into the distance. After having the engine completely rebuilt for the 3rd time, leaks forming where brand new seals where installed and the mechanic telling me he would not trust it for any length of time and made me sign a waiver releasing him of any guarantee of work. How is that for peace of mind. So I drove it from the repair shop to the busiest intersection adorned with For Sale signs. I was able to sell it in about 2 weeks at a bit of a loss but but I could not take the constant repairs. I have to say that in the few weeks it actually did run it was without a doubt one of the best 4x4s I have ever had, which is saying something. We were able to find a little Mistubishi Pajero which is actually older but in MUCH better condition and we are very happy to have a reliable truck now.
