That I'm gold, Japanese, reliable and can last forever. (As long I'm serviced regularly).

Right now: that I'm not in Dubai.

Is there anywhere safe and covered I can leave the car long-term while I'm out of Dubai, without it costing me hundreds of pounds? Maybe 1-2 months at a time?

Why not find someone to lend it to? I used to lend the Pajero to my secretary during the summer when I wasn't using it. Cars are better used than stored... I'm sure Kitty would look after it!

Anyway, to answer the question: what does my Pajero says about me. It says that I made a mistake and should have bought the 3.8 litre version.

Not a bad plan, but it's a Mondeo

I'm wondering if I should just have sold it.

So what does your car say about you or other people?

Any generalizations we can make?

Not sure what it says about me but my prefect car in the world would be a mini cooper (an original one ideally) in red with a union jack roof. Ideal car here- still mulling over and FJ.
Top gear review says I'm not one to lust over but if you need a decent cheap ride I'm the one.

Smile Re: What does your car say about you?

My car has grey velour upholstery and matching plastic made of recycled crisp packets, make of that what you will ladies!

Mind you it also has tinted windows along with three separate places to put sun glasses which indicates a fair degree of confusion amongst the design team .
