Default New Little run-about...

I've wanted one of these for 20 years! Picked it up yesterday and in true Canadian tradition, drove home 8 hours from the nearest city!

5.4 Triton V8. 300 BHP. Sits at 1500 RPM when you're speeding.

... about 15 miles to the gallon... without towing anything :-O But hey, petrol is 60p a litre.

It took me 6 months to find one WITH 4 doors! You never know when 40" of rear leg room will come in useful. Like getting 6 guys in it when a Grizzly bear wanders into the fishing pool and you have to scarper!

Handles like a bus with flat tires but hey, you can't have everything. and it goes places your average BMW can't even imagine... with 6 Grizzly bear avoiders in it.

No, £1.30 a litre is ridiculous, puts it in perspective.
