ShaggyRS6 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) £1500 For The landy. £200 respray :blink: I bought for all the things you want one for. Rag top so roof can come off in Summer. V6 engine so little vibration when shooting out the window or from the roof :blink: best of all, cos i has a frod engine in it, it dont leak :blink: Edited February 2, 2008 by ShaggyRS6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad al Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I used to use a SJ410 and would go anywhere, loads of them to be had but beware of the rust buckets :blink: . Very cheap to run, insure, tax and loads of bits about for them :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) I used to use a vitara which was perfectly adequate (although i removed the rear seats to make some space) and suprisingly good off road all for £800. I now own an old 2.8tdl fourtrak which is brilliant best grand ive ever spent. It came fitted with AT grabber tyres and is superb offroad its pretty agricultural to drive but much better than an old landy (which is what i originally wanted) and can do motorway speeds if needed i get around 30mph if i drive sensibly . Its also ideal for shooting from the d/s window which i do a lot. The sunroof is removable which is handy for lamping. It never gets washed and the back is always covered in my shooting c**p. The wife hates it and reckons it smells of cow **** and compares it to driving to to a tractor :blink: I wouldnt be without it.

Oly Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) The only one that never gets stuck - my legs! :blink: Much quieter too! :blink: Thankfully I'm young (relatively to some!), fit and able, hopefully by carrying on in this vain I'll remain that way! :blink: Edited February 2, 2008 by Oly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
