Hi Chaps,
Only £250 for your half? Where can I get one
A friend took me off roading recently in a purely off road Range Rover.
Mud tyres, snorkel etc. It was bought specifically to go off road (don't
worry about denting it!). I have to say it was the most fun I've had
since I discovered girls.
Been lurking here a while, thinking about buying something myself and
the Unimog looks very capable. For pure off roading I only need
something with half decent engine and running gear - body work or MOT is
not an issue. Am I likely to find such a beast for a few hundred
pounds... or should I go back to looking at Landrovers etc?
Cheers
Bill
