I could be wrong here, but isn't the wing on Hammond's MGF - as seen above - fitted because the car is so long that without the wing, its driver wouldn't know where the back end of the thing was. Something to do with the curvature of the earth?

more like curvature of the "chassis"

have been thinking about toyota hilux double cab/ford/nissan/mitsubishi thingy.. any love for them chaps??

There are a few Hilux on the farm, the oldest is a 1986 and the newest is 2005, they seem to take HUGE amounts of abuse and go on and on and on (etc). The only thing I would say about them is they seem to get stuck in deep mud more often than the land rovers do (possibly because they get used more, possibly because they are less able when the going gets very sticky)

It depends what your budget is as to if you will get a rusty runner or something that is worth owning.

i need to save a lot what sort of fuel consumption do you get from yours?

I will ask, they tend to get filled up from the farm's (white) diesel tank so I have never paid much attention. I only ever use one when the weather is crappy or I need to move wood, etc about and don't want to get my rr dirty.

dont want to get rr dirty
