As soon as I knew I was getting a Shogun I joined up on the Pajero Owners Club (www.pocuk.co.uk) - The guys there are really into the Project and I had a lot of interest and help. When it came to fitting the Alts I needed to get a cone filter adaptor to enable the intake to be moved and a member on the forum called Nick the Nurse had one available and let me have it for nothing (well I gave him a few Ciders in return) he also gave me some great advice around the radiator swap I needed to do.
Unfortunately 2 weeks ago Nick died suddenly in his sleep - and his funeral is on tomorrow and due to his enthusiasm for music as well as Project Big Black I was asked if I could attend and take part in his funeral procession - the idea being a convoy of 30+ Pajeros will take a drive with a Police escort all playing Nicks favourite tunes nice and loud - we have some Pajs with PA systems set up and I will be taking part with the back door open to really make some noise for the guy
A very fitting send off for such a nice guy. In the short period of time I knew him he helped me out no end and as you can see from the forum

he was a proper nice chap
So if anyone in the vicinity of Apedale, Staffordshire tomorrow hears a little AC/DC playing very loud - That will be a lot of Pajero Owners saying goodbye to Nick in the way he would have liked
