  1. 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

    Should have told Amanda this before we booked the wedding in this country, so sounds wicked B)

     

    It was quite the adventure :drive1

  2. 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!

  3. The Good.... I am going to be an Uncle very soon, as soon as my sister starts pushing :lol: (already 2 weeks late) :scare:

     

    The Bad...... I am now a pedestrian :byebye::surrender:

     

    The Ugly,..... I met Toby Today :lol: .... gerat to meet you Toby :wave: , and thanks for everything :#1:

     

    Yes, great to finally meet you too Jim.

    Pleased you got sorted, always a pleasure never a chore :thumbs:

    Didn’t envy you that drive and return journey :yawn:

    Just the race to Canada to deal with now, eh? First round is on me :yahoo:

    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 :shrug:

  5. 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 :scare:

  6. Hmmmmmm I thought as much...........I'm probably buying myself into a world of pain because I'm going ultimate dirt cheap end of the market so they're all probably fooked!

     

    Thats the great thing about 2 cars......one breaks you just leave it where its ass broke down!

     

    Ricey they are a dirty,dirty vehicle TBH :thumbdown:

    What sort of money were you looking to spend on a 4WD?

     

    Free would be good :thumbs:

     

    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!
