what vehicle

[richie 1]

Richie, did you used to own a vitara? If so, what was it like, fuel/repairs etc? Jimny outside my budget.

Cheers

 

 

 

yeah, i use to own a vitara, the fatboy version.. parts were a little pricey to be honest, not that much went wrong with it, but the exhaust cost loads.... & mine was juicey on fuel..

 

 

i picked up my jimny for £2300 2 years back, its a v reg...

 

 

the vitara..

 

 

jimny.... once ive folded the back seats down i can get all the gear i need in the back...

I heard they were juicy. Good purchase the Jimny ...... especially with the A/C. Jusat needs to carry me, the dog, the kit and the missus ....... occaisionally!

thinking of getting a 4x4 to get across my shoots easier ( getting on a bit now ) i know this may have been asked before, but just wondered what type of vehicles all you other hunters use, pehaps i can get some ideas on what to get for myself No serious off road work, just across fields and along farm tracks (quite rutted in the wet )

 

Cheers

There's only one for me.........if it aint got Land Rover on the bonnet, it won't do. Can't be doing with all the Jap crap, fur coat and no knickers, as we say in the trade.

my current and first 4x4, yes its another vitara, cheap insurance/tax and cheap to run, about £40 for a full tank, gets around the orchards great, as others have said, its a bit small if your carrying more than 2 people, as no boot space, but as mine came with a tow bar fitted, I just bought a small trailer, for bigger jobs where more nets/ferrets are needed, and of course for getting the rabbits home
