My current drive is a black 56 plate Kia Sorento with old Man Emu suspension the best mod though was Yokahama Geolander ATS tyres great quiet ride 130mph speed rating (car will probably do 110 down hill wind behind etc.) superb on ice & mud. Oh & yes it does go off road.

Phone call from Audi garage yesterday the Q5 we ordered in February will be here 3rd week in May not August/September as originally projected ...
The Audi has 65% -75% better fuel consumption over the kia; I have spoken to Q5 owners I'm not going to be had over as I was with Kia's inflated figures.

I drive a much used 1987 Rover 218SDt turbo diesel. I got given it by my step-dad after he got himself a car he could get into and out of more easily.

Very like this one:

She's got 205,000 miles on the clock and just 7 days ago passed the Controle Technique (French MOT) with only a couple of minor problems that the examiner thought should be brought to my attention. Rear suspension rubbers are a bit tired and the handbrake lever travels a bit too, otherwise she's a goer and I really like it. Mine's white with very few rust spots. The fact you don't need a laptop to fix is it what appeals to me the most.
In my work as a carpenter I sling my tools on a tarpaulin in the back with the rear seats dropped down and can carry quite a bit of stuff. Even slept in it a few times.

For my fun times I ride a Kawasaki GPz600r

I have a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso and I hate it. Used to drive a C Class Merc but then got a dog so it had to go. The space is useful and its comfortable on a run BUT, the semi auto gear box is a proper carp.

2004 Hyundai Trajet people carrier. A gift from my lovely mum. Does bugger all to the gallon but with the seats out it's great for moving tools and materials. Only done 46k miles and I reckon it's big enough to easily sleep in the back of - wondering if I can build some modular camper van bits for it that I can remove easily.

For fun I have a Kawasaki GT550. Not exactly fast by modern standards - 115 top whack and 0-60 in less than 6 seconds.

I swear by my trusty 2.8 lwb pajero. Enough room for my gear and family when we camp. It'll pull just about anything. Decent a/t's so I'm ready. Just needs some bits n pieces to finish it off. I want a safari roof rack and rear ladders.
Parts are "cheapish" off evilbay, and if looked after properly they can last.
The pajero looks the same as the UK shogun except better spec, better build, heavier, thicker chasis.

I've just replaced my Suzuki SJ with a landrover 90 300TDI which I'm running on veg oil. Smells a bit like a BBQ but saves me about 1/3 on the price of fuel. Would have loved to keep the SJ but it only had two seats and didn't have great pulling power even though I fitted it with a 1.6l Vitara engine and an SU carb. Also have a Golf mk4 gttdi 130 but thats the mrs daily drive.
