Nice one southey i agree why have the expence of a car if your not gona enjoy it,
if the government want people to stop using there cars so much then they should stop removing local work and letting factories move abroad. Also reduce commuting to a set distance people want to earn big money in london but commute a 1000 miles to live someware nice which also stops locals being able to afford a house in there home town.
Moan moan moan moan tell me to shut up

Who said "Need" means "work related?" Recreation is just as valid a need as any other. 4 wheelin' is an extremely enjoyable sport. Even when I lived in town I played in the country. I've been on class IV trails so far but hope to eventually make it to the Rubicon Trail (Class X) and I know I'm only daydreaming about The Widowmaker in Utah but who knows; maybe one day.

so very much want to run the Rubicon!, looking at fly drives for that very reason, wifely went to Moab two years ago and made me insanely jealous with pics of the rigs just tooling around town do you read Stu offroad?

I'm with you Southey. Maybe we should start a parallel thread;

Wives, a necessity or a waste of money?

-or-

Wives, is it better to buy or to lease?

If you want a cheap car that is really tight when it comes to fuel, I would vote Peugeot 106, the 1.1 lawmoaner engine isnt exactly the dream, but it does the trick! I used to a lot of things, and back and forth in rush traffic to work. STILL, I only filled it up once a month.

I regret selling it, my Suzukie Grand Vitara is nicer in the winter and in the rual area`s, with the 4x4, but it use a lot more fuel.

My wife bikes to work moast of the year, nice way to keep fit!
