Off Topic 4x4 for £500
Oh yes.......
You must have seen the video below, but there's any number of them on YouTube being more than mildly offroaded :worship:
Didn't know they were good for towing though!

no one has mentioned yet, a renault kangoo 4x4
i had one last year (mine was a van) was unstoppable in the snow,1.9 dci remapped to 110bhp so not slow at all, 40mm lift as standard with under body protection,
loved every minute of driving it, couldnt get it stuck anywhere!

we had a kangoo but the engine was a bag of nails. was a shame too as it was quite nice.
it was the diesel "mechanical / electric hybrid" ECU fuel controlled engine. we had no end of issues with it. bought a whole new fuel system for it and still it had the same faults :/

See I'd be far too distracted by the evolution 2 Delta integrale hiding in the stock list...its also 4wd drive however as the advert says its had a lot of welding maybe he'll accept offers and multiple Pandas as trade in

I've had a look at the 4x4 panda. Just a look - garage was closed
The 100HP is still there too
Back to the 4x4 was really dirty as they don't clean them. Makes it hard to judge its actual condition but wasn't that fresh anyway, sump guard underneath was flakey with rust. Bonnet stone ship city though alloys were unmarked.
Unless there is a major adjustment in price I can go another 50 miles up the road and pick up a newer (by 2 years) less miles (40k less) example for £200 less !
Unfortunately they are both in metallic silver which is not my favourite shade.

I sent an email via auto trader to the lower mileage panda garage. No response.
Tried phoning them - phone rang out no answer.
Do they want to sell a car or not?
Seam to be quite a few in my price range about, suprised to find they didn't come with aircon as standard though. It's bit of a deal breaker - I wonder if it can be retro-fitted from a scrapper?

Probably can be, I imagine it would be a massive job though, probably have to take the entire dash out.

I'll try and find one with it fitted then
Most seem to have aircon - 3 out of 4 of the £3k ones I looked at did.

The garage selling the low miles 4x4 hasn't rang back.
Don't think I'll bother though, who wants to off road their 'best' (most expensive) vehicle?
Decider will be Sunday's Panday - aka - to 4x4 or not 4x4 that is the question.

I'm sure you will be amazed what you can do in fizzle on the trails, but you know that you'll only want to further- and that will require an extra pair of driving wheels! You can have a go in mine on Sunday and see what you want to do

Terrifying! Prefer transport to have doors and roof and to be generally less "death trappy"
Back to looking at 3k Jimny's.
Might go over to see "Mr Jimny" in Bradford tomorrow and see what he has and a test drive.
Don't really think a mk3 Panda will survive me off roading it - found a few little scrapes on Fizzle once I'd washed the mud off

That's me,

I swear 4x4 prices are increasing already!
Holding myself back from making any purchses though, lost two shifts this week
I really would be better off with a Panda 4x4 if I can find somewhere to hide one
