id say amazon or pajero/shogun, if you can get a pajero though get that as they are far better speced

Do you need the size of an amazon? Standard LC may be a better option.

Best one I've had was the Landcruiser Colorado. Should be plenty big enough for most purposes. I drove to Benidorm and back last November in that one and it was faultless. The 3.0 L TD is pretty good but if you can run to a 3.0 Direct Injection then they are much better. Had a 2.8 Shogun but found it very wallowy and noisier than I expected. I've also had a Jeep Grand Cherokee with the (very, very) noisy 3.1 Turbo Diesel engine which was a magnificent vehicle but again you really need the 2.7 Mercedes sourced engine for any kind of refinement.

I had been thinking about getting a Supra, but have realised that, living in the sticks, bad weather is a big problem so it would be more sensible to get a 4x4 as a second car. Something Japanese, not particularly new, was thinking of a Hilux Surf - does anyone here have one? I can't buy a huge car, as it won't fit through our gateposts!!!
