“Motivation is what gets youstarted…

Habit is what keeps you going” said JimRyun, an American Athlete. It got me thinking that many of uswho have set our goals and wishes at the beginning of the yearmay be finding that now the summer is upon us, and willpower islowering as we think of slipping into Autumn, that those things wefervently set out to achieve in January may be sliding from ourgrasp.

And perhaps the reason is that we either weren’t committed todoing what we decided all those months ago, or we didn’t get intothe HABIT of making that thing happen. Indeed a decision wemade last year as a couple was to incorporate a fresh juice intoour diet, at least once daily. We enjoyed blending fresh kale fromthe garden, including thick broccoli stems which would ordinarilyend up on the compost, various fruit and other vegetables andchucking in copious amounts of ginger which sent Sean's hayfeverpacking (an unexpected, but very welcome result!).

With the cleaning of the blenders and juicers, and the extra bit oforganisation needed to make these each day it would have beeneasy to stop eventually. But once it became a habit it’s tough tobreak. So even when we have days out we make sure that we getour juice and do you know, if you look out for them there are juicebars popping up everywhere. So we grabbed one recently in HydePark at a festival, in a little street in Ibiza on a holiday and even thekids join in now, despite what can seem a very dubious mixsometimes!

If there’s something you want to do, or yourresolve has slipped, get started again and we’llhear no more excuses!

Much love until next month

In 1982 Mitsubishi MotorsCorporation launched a brand newbreed of vehicle: a 4x4 which wastough enough to go where othersfeared to tread, yet enjoyed the sortof sophisticated specification morenormally associated with top endsaloons. More than thirty years laterthe Shogun is a living legend.

The 2015 Mitsubishi Shogun has abold new front end, distinguished bya deeper more integrated grille andchic LED daytime running lights. Thedesign changes for this yearrepresent a progressive evolution ofthe hard-hitting Japanese off-roader.

Naturally, the Mitsubishi keepsits go-anywhere, self-assuredand powerfully built presence.This is characterised by its shortfront overhang, uprightwindscreen, strong high flanks,flared wheel-arches and rear-mounted spare wheel. Theseare all key Shogun styling cuesthat underline its mud-pluggingaptitude.

Indeed, standing next to theShogun makes you feel prettysmall. The vehicle is enormousand looks rather intimidating todrive. But once you haulyourself into the cabin, turn thekey, select ‘Drive’ from theautomatic gearbox and getrolling, any unease evaporates.

By no means is the brute alwaysa delight to drive on the roadthough. Sure, it’s easy to pointthe Shogun down a motorwayand stay there, but any crosswinds do knock you about a bit.That’s no surprise as it’s a tallvehicle – and because of thatyou can also forget tearingaround bends on country roads,unless you like lots of lean.

Instead, the new Mitsubishi Shogun isabout muscle and ruggedness. Thetop of the range Long Wheel Base(LWB) SG4 model, on test here, pullslike a train with its 3.2-litre,194bhp,four-cylinder diesel engine. 0-62mph arrives in 11.1 seconds andtop speed is 112mph. Moreimportantly it has low-ratio gearingand a differential lock to make sureyou’ve got the best chance of gettingit out of even the most challenging ofnon-tarmac situations.The Mitsubishi Shogun is not only agiant of a 4x4, its cabin feels solidlyscrewed together and comescrammed with luxury features. Aswell as improved sound deadening,

SG4 trim brings leather seats,Bluetooth, a tyre pressuremonitoring system and a five-speed automatic gearbox.

Staying inside the cabin of theShogun, its multifunction displayhas reams of informationavailable. This includes abarometer and an altitude gauge,indicating that this is a vehicle thathas motoring ability stretchingway beyond a farmer’s field.

The seats are comfortable andsupportive, and the large glassarea provides first rate views ofthe road or rugged ground aroundyou. Rear seat space is colossal,and load capacity seemsimmeasurably big.

A third row of seats can be poppedup too, turning the Shogun into aseven-seater. This is convenient ifyou’re taking a group of friends intothe rough or you’ve got a posse ofchildren you need to drop off atschool.

Away from the much commentedluxury soft-roaders, heavy-dutyworkhorses such as the Shogun havecarved out a unique niche in themarket where ability anddependability matter first andforemost.

Since a price decrease in July 2013Shogun sales have gone fromstrength to strength. With its newdesign and improved specification,the Mitsubishi Shogun now offerseven better value for money.
