For the carpark.

I need to look good (power/sporty) but also I want to look like I can go off road if need be. How about a Warrior or Trojan dripping in chrome bullbars and full leather interior?

Help.

Why don't you just wear a t-shirt saying 'I am Hora'.

I need to look good

If that's a requirement, you may as well not bother. There's nothing out there that'll do the job, surely 😆

A little understated I know but I think it gives me maximum kudos in the Dalby carpark:

That's the lambo!

My next door neighbour has an ex-military Hummer, it's awesome - although you can't get past it if he doesn't park it with the wheels on the curb, when it's not on the drive. Also shares in Shell are a good idea!
Plus you sit so far away from the passengers, you have to shout to be heard, but hte that could be thought of in a good way!!

I've driven one of those Lambo Cheetahs in anger. Off road.

The air intake kept getting clogged though so the bloody thing kept cutting out. Bobbins.

whoever makes the Surf is popular around here with the youguns. Used for bikes and the then playing on the beach sliding and surfing
Seems running around with a bunch of front wheels/forks dangling over the tailgate is dainthang.....or whitiver 🙄

If not a crew cabbed pickup then it has to be a T5 with trick soundsystem and blacked windows with chrome wheels

BMW with a roof rack, gives just the right image IMO and it's great fun playing with the lanes on the M4.

Mattracks have a 40mph limit on them I believe. Shame, I reckon they'd go great on a Carerra Four.

Best trail centre cars have got to be either the Dangel Berlingo, Mitsubishi D:5 or the Auto-Seikel Transporter T5 Extreme.

With honourable mentions going to the Alvis Stalwart, the Hagglunds BV206, Pinzgauer 716M and the Unimog U5000.

This is a bit like the article in this months magazine where the guy goes into a bike shop and wants a bike people will look at at trail centres?

Practical MTB'ing vehicle - space, economy, comfort, looks like you're heading for a people carrier Hora!!

One of these, because before they invented trail centres, the only [i]desireable[/i] traffic you would see would be :

How about a Panther:

(The tyres aren't flat btw you can inflate and deflate them from within the cab).

With optional RWS (remote controlled big gun on the roof) in case flashing doesn't get the BMW in front of you to move over

What's up Hora, is the short winky syndrome playing up again, slip a banana down your shorts might save you a few burning a few quid trying to compensate for the inadequacy. 😉

What's wrong with an L200?

Mine hasn't got bullbars or leather though. Isn't a Warrior or Trojan either actually, just the basic 4Life. Lashed some waterproof seat covers in, made a bike rack for the back, suits me fine. Haven't tested it out round a trail centre carpark yet though 😉
