Ok, yeah yeah you knew it wouldnt be long 
But I think I want to sell the bogey & have 2 cars out of it!!??
Fancy a proper 4x4 of some description, maybe a defender c/w winch/snorkle/spotlights/grippy tyres etc
And something totally dedicated to the summer time.....elise/VX220/TVRgriff etc.
So for £20k split what ever way what could I get???
At least 1 has to be reliable....so no 1500 quid jeep & a 18.5k TVR that will both break down within seonds of eachother!! 
Note to the arse grilling squad on here: I aint no Pugnut, my previous 2 purchases were completed without too much bullshit posts. Go easy on me!!

Even new defenders arent reliable or comfy.
(Good fun though) but if you want something big and comfy that is good offroad you will get a nicer disco for your money.
Something like this.

I take it the snow up that way has pissed you off colin, hence the reason for the 4x4 lol
I actually love the look of your focus. Get it a power upgrade you might fall back in love with it.

Aye!!!
But staying up the braes its going to be the same year in, year out. I also want to start a few outdoor persuits next year, maybe a bit of mountain biking, snowboarding, climbing etc.......Ive not fully decided yet just decided that I need a hobby or 3 so I want something thats up to the job wherever I decide to head off to. FRS just isnt up to the job at all.
Car No2 tucked away and only used for 6 months....TVR or something similar that will make children run in doors screaming mammy theres a monster outside!!!!
Thats the plan!!
