nige123 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hi Chaps please could you advise me on 4x4 i should buy with a budget of £1500, i need it purely for carrying the pile of cr.p we normally carry plus the dog and the odd deer carcass. looking mainly at fuel costs and how reliable they are to be honest, i'm not expecting a great deal for that money but any comments greatly received.
