Funny that - I was thinking of doing the same thing!
I was gonna buy a non-runner on the cheap, sort it out in my spare time (not that I'll get much of that once I'm back on my teacher training course in September!) and give it to her once she passes her driving test...

Would prefer an auto (well, it is the missus driving!! lol ) cos it's easier for off-roading if you've got one less thing to worry about.

No serious chance of actually buying anything til the autumn though.

does look good.

Yep. Ready to go off-roading in. I've been looking around at Vitaras since the Jap & Jeep Jam a few weeks ago.

The missus had never driven anything on 4 wheels at all before. Not even driving a car on the driveway or whatever. I asked if she fancied a go on the off-road course and she said yes.

Had a quick zip around the field so she got used to the controls and off we went onto the off-road course and she had a whale of a time! Instant conversion to driving 4x4s and she decided she wanted one. Having had a bit of a scout around we've come to the conclusion that a 1600 Vitara is probably the best balance of insurance costs, etc, so it's probably the way to go.

Hopefully, come the autumn, once we've got a bit of cash we'll see whats around and take the plunge!

my missus lives on a farm so she has driven a number of 4x4's but for some reason likes the viatara, think its cos of the small compact size?

1.6 is good for her insurance too.


but only wants a hard top since the soft top is easy to tear.
