    I'm amazed that anyone can wonder why some people do not choose a car that is probably going to cost in excess of

    Caravanning costs

    Having had our twin axle pinched last year, i went through the costs equation to decide whether or not to buy another. i came up with the following: Storage

    caravan storage at home

    At the time of replying three out of four respondents say "stuff thy neighbour - do what you want". So I ask myself, "Do I really want to go out and buy a new caravan to be surrounded by neighbours like these?"...... Think of the image you portray before you answer folks - you don't come across...

    4X4

    Well Ray, I think I agree totally - apart from the bit about Land Rovers, tried them on 2 occasions and came away underwhelmed. Disco 3 does look stunning though - maybe 3rd time lucky???? As for the bit about cheap holidays, this is just the "debate" I've been having with the Chief of Staff at...
