I'll let you off Norrie, I was looking at a Frontera the other day but it's a petrol 2.2 and only gets 25 mpg and with the miles I do... could be pricy to run.

Don't touch a Frontera. Pricey ain't the half of it!

 

 

Would this assume then that I would not be able to use THIS for city centre based works?

 

For the record, I am against mums running one child to school in a 4X4, but mine is a commercial vehicle, and is a 4X4. I bought it so I would not need a second car to use outside of work, this is comfortable, looks good and is functional.

 

Anyone who can argue against that fact can shove it.

Real off roaders DO NOT have running boards.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Thanks for your considered reply Cory, I was not aware of the niceties of bandwidth :)

 

Actually, and to tell the truth :) I haven't a clue :)

"When through the woods and forest glades I wanderAnd hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,And hear the brook, and feel the breeze;and see the waves crash on the shore,Then sings my soul..................

I dont recall saying I used it off road.

Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail

So what's the point of having a 4x4 if you do't use it in its element? I love 4x4s me, used to have a Defender 110, but they are much better fun up when they are wading through the glaur than they are on tarmac.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

I posted that earlier. The 1 tonne capicity was the main deal, that and the fact that MTB's can get thrown in the back without dirtying the interior. 4 'proper' bikes will make a mess of a car. And I dont mean riding along a canal.

 

If it came in rear wheel drive option it would be fine, the car was bought because of the function, not the fact that I wanted an oversized runabout.

Sorry rich, I was just teasing. You don't need to justify your choice of wheels to me or anyobe else as far as I am concerned.

Unbearable, isn't it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends. There is a secret song at the center of the world, and its sound is like razors through flesh.
