Really Mark? That's a shame. I thought you were thinking of expanding to take on full fits?

Im also thinking this but need to sell my combo first and then repair my impreza. A van is usefull but sometimes it can be a bit much if its your only vehicle.
I know they are slightly more expensive but consider an impreza/forester. I bought an old 93 impreza non turbo and its amazing, comfy ride and great handling. Will even carry 20 meters of tile and tools :yikes:

that's a medium term plan Gus. Short term all in needing is me and my tools. Only a small amount of materials if any!... V funny Dave but i do a appreciate a well engineered machine + my daughter would kill me lol

i know what you are saying mate but people know what my work is like so I'm " hoping" the image thing wont be a problem
Ruff and ready it is... Perfect for site driving and great for the dog but a babe magnet.... Hmmm! If they were blind one legged and 19stone they might like it ....

What about a pickup? L200 or Navara? still give off the right message but a bit more friendly as a daily car
C
charlie1
yep, would certainly consider both. Think i prefer the L200

The L200 require new engines after 100k. They are badly built engines. I do like the look of the L200. It's a shame the mechanical side is poor.
I'm currently on the lookout for a Double Crew Cab Navara at the mo. 2006/2007 silver manual with snug top. Around £7k mark. No rush for it though

glad of the advice Gus! The Navarra is a nice vehicle too, Prob ott for what i require though. Are you keeping the van too?

I fancy a pathfinder for my everyday car, same as a navara but with a proper boot and not a pickup. I'm suprised at the engine swap at 100k for the L200, mitsis are normally good mechanically.
What about an estate and a box trailer?
