Companion car for landy

Just about to get a Renault 4 as a spare vehicle to complement a landy, and was wondering what other people use as backup/second vehicle. I guess most people go for 'sensible' modern techno-cars? I love the simplicity of the Renault 4, and at 40 mpg cheap to run too.

what a great old motoring icon. i remember my mates mum had one when we were kids. the gearstick came out of the dashboard

aye and it wasnt connected to anything at tother end, either.

probably not mate

My second car is a Unimog 404S

I just recently bought another landy as a second car.
I got a t reg 90 td5 hard top from the local main dealer. It has done 26000 and is in very good condition, with warranty etc. Its on the 'never-never' for the next 36months though

My second vehicle, is a 1957 fire engine. - Not really practical to drive to work in.

That's what I get from our Landy!

Sorry Blippie I nearly choked when I saw that you're getting 40mpg from a Landy. But then I found out it was an FLander - made me feel much better about my 17 mpg

I bought my Landy as a second car to use for fun and go offroading in. Main work car was replaced 2 weeks ago (finally had enough of bleedin Vauxhalls), and got a good deal on a Megane 1.9 TDi. Ex demo, 4000 miles £8900. Dynamique spec, 130HP. It's nearly as quick off the mark as the V8 (9s 0-60) but does an average of around 53 mpg - better than 18 from the landy! Looks a bit funny the Megane, but drives fine, and will serve me well going up and down the M1 between Leeds and Derby.

i have a helicopter which is brilliant off road, it too is quick orf the mark
it has a 9 ltr 350 hp motor with altitude adjustable boost. i get about 76.532 mpg and it doesn't seem to bother about traffic jams

The boring family car is a Toyota Estima (imported previa) dull dull dull can't remember
the last time I started it. I use a Honda CBR600 to get to work and get my speed
kicks I get 50mpg oot of that

i got a mini. mini's and landys go quite well together.

Excellent choice, I've had loads of minis and have in fact got a mini minus in the
garage as my project car..... :^ )
