Cool dad, pratical but an individual. Had an estate for 9 months - it had no soul, this may say environment killer but I will balance it out with the other aspects of my life its worth it.

Ariel filled with water which drained the battery, really wierd but once found easily sorted.

What's most practical about your car?

Size of the boot, the extra steats mean only one car when friends and family come to visit. Can take everything when out on holidays with the family.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

So many 4x4 options. Whether on snow or on sand it is amazingly sure footed. Built in compass, the seat are unbelievably comfortable, heated for those cold winter mornings and cool in summer.
