| i'd say a vitara or a sj at your age, they both good but the cheapest and best option i recon is a discovery, cheap, easy to work on and a generally good alrounder, | |

| DON'T buy a jeep Cherokee, way to expensive all round.The only reason i've got one is coz I wanted a big auto and we only do about 5000 miles a year. I had an SJ, brilliant off road, not very comfy on road though. I would have bought a disco but I can't weld | |

| I had a V8 range rover overfinch when I was 18 Sadly the rust got it and killed it. Theyre bloody good trucks if you can get a clean one, and a mortgage to pay for the fuel | |

| i'll have a swb 2.5td pajero for sale soon for about £600, got a lwb 2.5 like mine too but that will be about £1000. suzukis are good and go just about anywhere but you get better road handling and power and comfort from a pajero, you know it makes sense | |
