Think im possibly going off my head but im thinking an old Land Rover Discovery would maybe be fun 
^That sort of thing 2.5 or 3L TDi
Think it would be a money pit & costly to run?? I remember AK having one, the Sofa  Pretty sure he had no bother with it

Land Rover.....fun?

They are expensive to run. Be fun if you used it off road. Cant imagine it being fun on the road.

Im sure I could manage to take it off the road aswell, plenty fields around here to drive through, mounting curbs would be nice too & I can leave it lying around abandoned without fear some wee scrotes going to tamper with it

Whats 30 to a fiver in mpg terms??
Im going to be travelling into the city center for a while, lots of slow driving, sitting at 70 on Mway, stuck in traffic, parking it in a dodgy area, not even sure if theres a car park of if its going to be abandoned while im there. Trying to suss out the car for the cause

colin my friends cousion got a disco for 20 quid about a month ago to commute and go offroad in.
it takes whatever he puts it through and has still been reliable to use for work etc. its a noisy old slow heap, but does everything he needs it do including off road abuse, lugging stuff etc
