You've already got a mog though! I was thinking a six foot square sign written chip box would draw attention too!

regarding a van, i would highly recommend a combo, best van ever imo  :) only time i had a hangover was one time when i went to germany, we went out on this thursday where they do nothing but drink beer and eat food  ;D i have never drunk so much in my life! it was safe to say, i didnt feel too good the next day :-[ :( i've also been invited to this 12 day drinking thing, where youre only allowed to drink beer, and one cup of coffee in the morning, as i dont drink coffee, i can only have beer! :D

I was thinking about one of those silly little 4x4 Renault things. I need 4wd to get into (or rather out of) the estates I shoot to haul the deer out!

Going back to shooting, how come your mum doesn't like you using the .243? Is it the things you shoot with it that are the issue?!

yeah, she likes the deers and the foxs, even though weve got hundreds around here. personally i dont buy french vehicles, but some people love them. if i was to go for a really compact 4x4, id go for an old fiat panda 4x4!  8) the running gear is steyr puch so theyre pretty awesome. i wouldnt go for a new one though.

I was kind of aiming at something cheap to run. Army truck isn't quite going to make the grade!

Brian - deer taste great. Can't you cook up something for your mum to change her mind? My mrs was veggie from birth until she was 25, she ate venison cottage pie twice this week! Shooting some of them is essential to maintain a healthy population. Shooting deer is actually good for them - well maybe not the one you shoot but the rest of them! You're talking to the master of the art of justification. ;)

Foxes are a bit harder to explain off. I think you need to see first hand what they can do to a hen house or newborn lamb to appreciate that some of them need to be culled. But then even foxes are nice to see in areas where they're not harming anything. No point shooting them for the sake of it.

As a non Mog owner, I spend my time designing in my head how mine will look when I pick one up.

Until that day I design and have made (here in the UK) 4X4 equipment for competition, Rescue and Expedition 4x4s.
I work from home so I'm used to putting in 16-20 hour days when not spending time with the missus.

It's not uncommon at all when I'm on a roll to work 2 days without sleep as I just can't stop.

My mates say its sad, but deep down I think they are all jealous and wish they had hobbies that they have turned into jobs that they love.
Maybe its because I have such a cool boss!!!!! ::) :o :)

Apart from designing bespoke off road products, I have also hand picked top brands I consider the world leaders in their field. My idea is to create a store (online to begin with, but retail soon as possible) that only supplies high end gear at sensible prices, and not ripping customers off just because it says "expedition" or "overland" on the packet.

I may never be rich with that attitude but I will be happy, my customers are all happy, they all come back and all recommend me so I can live with that.

Hell, if I had a Unimog as a company vehicle I could possibly have the best job ever!!! ;D
