As has been said, nice work chaps.

This is the ONLY thread on PH. Anytime I post somewhere else, I feel slightly dirty hehe

Those Alfas cloud9 I need a GTV6. And a 1750 GTV.

550 is peak FR V12. Subsequent cars may be faster / objectively better overall, but for a do it all cruise, hoon and bruise its hard to argue with a manual 550. Even at twice the asking in 2012-2013.

959s lovely.

Si! thumbup

Rocket - thanks! Back and broke! Roxwell soon? Loving the bike, I might need to get my test at this rate... thumbup

At the other end of the spectrum, what's the weapon of choice for horsebox towing?

£15k budget (you don't have to spend all of it). 2,500 kg towing capacity. Economical, if possible. Reliable, essential.

Consider anything from Defenders to Shoguns but have precious little knowledge of any of them.

Should have said, not a pick-up - needs a conventional "boot"/internal load space.

Was lucky enough to go in this when I was at FOS last year. That’s me strapping in on the passenger side. Awesome car.

TD5 powered Defender.
3.500 Kg towing capacity, get through any horsey terrain, reliable in my experience. Economy is always relative, but I've been averaging about 25mpg.

Only reservation with the Defender is the somewhat agricultural drive.

Well it's a darned sight more comfortable than riding a horse. wink

You'll also not lose any money on one. smile

We have two horses, our Land Cruiser does all of the farm duties and pulls the horse trailer with ease.

We have the 4.2 diesel
