...let's say its a just married couple kissing...while running over a king size or a queen size bed...!!

...Fortunately my Path keeps me ...quite aground,,, otherwise... i get a little carried away...i have a tendency to think...BIG !! my dream machines : http://www.eurocampingcar.com/site_visite.php?id=237 or even this... for a little more comfort, in ze mud : http://www.maximog.com/vehicle.html This high tech one has cost $1.2 million...u.s....without the trailer !! but then you don't need to own or rent a house. the biggest problem with these marvelous machines remains ...circulating to go to work and parking it !! i would have to find a more appropriate work to go along with these... ...seems like once on 4x4, always on 4x4.

...One thing for sure, we may have seen them performing on a golf club backyard, and whatever they say about performances is quite relative... at Dakar 2009, first and second was volkswagen, third was surprisingly a Hummer, fourth and fifth were Nissan... (11 nissan finished the course)... on 91 cars that finished... Strange that on 91 vehicules, nothing resembling to cherokees, Ford or Chevys... but then again there were... 88 withdrawals... due to breakdowns... ...Isn't Dakar a good enough test drive for a vehicule? ...from 3 january to 18 january 2009, 6000 kms of obstacles to cross... i would keep my dime for another cheap game... or ground... ah... i forgot ...after checking the ''classement''... didn't cost a dime :-)... 88 withdawals : 1 Jeep, 7 Nissan... no Chevys, no Fords., no M1A1 Abrams neither, were in that rally...it's a wonder... since it happened on the continent... Chili, Argentina. http://www.dakar.com/2009/DAK/LIVE/us/1400...sement/CGA.html

i just realize you were talking about the nissan Quest engine being the same thanthe Ford villager...

Some of the 1995–1996 production was plagued by an engine knocking problem after a modification meant to reduce manufacturing costs. Ford offered an extended warranty of 7 years/160,000 km on the Mercury Villager, which shares the same engine. Nissan sent no warnings to clients, but maintains that it has taken the necessary actions regarding this problem. Am I reading right ? Nissan Pathfinders 1995-1996 share the same engine than tne Ford Mercury Villager ? But is it a Ford engine or is it a Nissan engine ? ... in wich ever .

thank you again, Funny ...thinking of owning a path...i have had so many vehicules, such as volvo, Fiat rally, citroen break (now you now i am french), ford van, international (a tank ), dodge fargo 1956 modified, Chrysler newport ( a ship )audi 100, audi 5000 ( i must have spent $10000 on that chic living room )...even a Xterra ( the bank (the crooks) ceased it)... one day i bought this one, the Path, $400, canadian dollars...i put $2600.00 just for parts, i am not taking in account the work on the body... i end up with a very basic path 4x4... no chrome, no mods, nothing yet... i have been through inimaginable places with it... i thought i would get stock in sand, in rivers up to the bumper...far of the deep end... i drive it, just about every day, and when i do i drive by the sounds it makes...it becomes part of me and i become part of it...nuts no ? My father was a mechanic for 45 years, i have been hanging around, even though i don't do mechanics, i know quite a bit...so i lay down under to check things...like i knew my manual transmission was a little whiny...wondering why...cause it's not made out of teflon...i have got that instinct...and the only thing i know about Pathfinders 89 to 95, is that Japanese made them the best they could, to be able to compete with american products... and they made one of the best simple and fonctional 4x4 that could be made... Their default... They had to import the steel to fabricate those ,carbon being a luxury, and they were buying it not thinking of salt... so they rust... but otherwise...i think it is one of the best real 4x4 you can own... and i am so proud that Renault associated with Nissan... Europeen mechanique is delicate but so advanced , although i can't stand those vehicules that look like a suppository... question of ''feeling'' i guess...

thank you !
