Should have told Amanda this before we booked the wedding in this country, so sounds wicked It was quite the adventure

Hi We got married in Hawaii in 2006. It was great, and much more intimate than a wedding over here IMO. We basically picked a destination as far away from England as possible to keep away all the usual family hangers on! I was lovely as we had a very peaceful ceremony on a pagoda garden in the mountains (where they filmed "Lost") Afterwards we all went back to the beach hotel for eats and drinks. I got to spend time with all the guests, and for me, much less stressful! It’s worth pointing out that this was just the wedding the full "Do" included the honeymoon too, which in typical fashion we did first! So to summarise the full itinerary I took 4 weeks off work. Flew in to Seattle airport hired a car and we both toured the west coast of North America. Took in Vancouver, Portland, LA, Vegas & San Fran to name but a few. From San Fran we flew to Hawaii and got married and relaxed for a week on the island and then flew home! We spared no expense, on the hire car(s), wedding venues, Hotels around the US & Canada etc. (Bev even had two wedding bespoke wedding dresses) and obviously two rings! Total cost - Less than £12,000 Hope this helps T

Well the headlight and washer bottle look recoverable.......

I would still stay the "flock" away from it (sorry!) unless it is to be used as a track car or somthing. I wouldnt fancy being a passenger in it

many hands - lighter work

Yes, great to finally meet you too Jim. Pleased you got sorted, always a pleasure never a chore Didn’t envy you that drive and return journey Just the race to Canada to deal with now, eh? First round is on me

Best of luck with the new car

Surely something wrong with that 2nd one.....its pretty new for the price. Looks sweet though. I think the lumpy engine has made it a bit scary for some folks, but how bad can it be on fuel, in relation to the cost of diesel? Still cheap overall motoring, even if you got a year out of it how much less would it be worth

Here is a winner, I had one of these for over a year great fun - Cheap too! http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201208451397083/sort/priceasc/usedcars/body-type/4x4/price-to/2000/make/jeep/page/3/postcode/ts36as/radius/1501?logcode=p Or this that works properly http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201208451473519/sort/priceasc/usedcars/body-type/4x4/price-to/2000/make/jeep/page/5/postcode/ts36as/radius/1501?logcode=p

Is the insurance expensive on the Mit's because they are classed as imports?

Couldn't really say for sure without an inspection, but it sounds like a engine/gearbox mounting, either way get it back to Mr Arnold ASAP!

BTW when and if you decide upon a vehicle, sorry this is going to sound very obvious, but in my experience you would be amazed how often this happens. When you see the car, stick your head under and check its actually got 4 drive shafts! You would not believe how often we get folks coming in with 2WD XTrails, RAV4's etc., that are appraised as 4WD just because they look like 4WD cars, and half the owners are none the wiser either

Ricey they are a dirty,dirty vehicle TBH What sort of money were you looking to spend on a 4WD? Free would be good Under 1500 squid to be honest (I know I know - that 'trouble' territory ) As said below the "Joy Machine" would be a better and more fun choice IMO. I ran one for a bit and really liked it and it was good on fuel too!

If you are going down the petrol 1.8 route, please stock up on head gaskets
