i did have a pajero untill it sprung a mahoosive oil leak. had more fun in that than any other vehicle i have owned. and being 20 with a babyish face and flourescent yellow jacket i looked like a pikey. the answer NO but i will be getting a nice rangy rover at some point.

Bit of a difficult subject this for me. Whilst I think its good for people to have access and I'm fine with responsible use of green lanes from those who understand how the countryside works, I'm not at all happy about the increasing numbers of folks who, quite frankly, turn up, make a ****ing ****e mess and ruin the tracks before ****ing off and leaving those of us who live and work out here to pick up the pieces of ruined rights of way.
I would say if you want to go green laneing do it when its reasonably dry ie not during the winter months. If it looks like its rutting up pack it in & come back when its dried out.
If you want to go and get stuck up to your axles in ****e and sludder, find a purpose built 4X4 quarry or course where it doesn't matter if you make a mess.

Advice For Ricky G, don't buy a P38 you have been warned, a classic can cost you a fortune, a P38 can bankrupt you:mad:

i was talking to a guy that came into work with one and he said unless you like having no money all the time dont buy one. they cost a fortune to run, they cost a fortune to fix, basicly they just aint worth it. but for some reason i realy want one. not to use as and offroader, more chealsea tractor i would say. ahh well a lad can dream eh......lol

'92 2.4 LWB Frontera.
Having 3 nephews who motocross means that I needed something that was capable of pulling itself out of some of the fields that are used as pits/paddocks.
Unmolested at mo but have got a spare set of MTs on steels for the bad days ;)
Looking at getting a Sport for offroading (money permitting).

Well I don't go 4x4ing for a past time but I have 2 unimogs - a U1200 and a U1300 and an old series 2 Landy for shooting rabbits and feeding pheasants with. Does that count?lol

I once was asked to pull out a cavalier that had been joyridden into the middle of a field so I used this.
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb125/cpnova/DSC00146.jpg

It was the only thing that could get near it after heavy overnight rain. I also had to pull out a Disco and Fronterra that had gone into fetch it out. I tied the lot together and pulled them out in 1 go. Despite weighing 19 tonnes all up the ground pressure is low and she stays on top rather than bogging down to the axles. It was over kill but anything else wouldn't have workedlol
