Back in summer 2012 (the wet one) I went to the Great Yorkshire show and the car parks were a quagmire

After the first day they cancelled the 3 day show

On returning to the car at the end of the day, I thought we'd need towing out, but stuck the CRV in 1st and the car pulled itself out no problem, past a stuck RR Sport and Discovery and even overtook a Defender, that was struggling

I was amazed by the little CRV

When I had a company one in 2008, I took it on some green lanes, wheich were rutted and muddy and the CRV coped very well

I'm astounded by how well it goes for a SUV

Well I'm a petrol head as well as a biker so no embarraesment when I say I love cars and drive mine a lot. Unfortunately since having a baby I traded my M3 in for a Peugeot 508 SW diesel. The good thing about it is it will do around 800-1000 miles on a tank which makes it less hassle to got work in.
Wife's got a VW Tiguan diesel which is OK if you're into the 4wd type of SUV.
I am on the look out for a 2 seater for a bit of fun in the new year though...

I have this as a winter bike/car. I run it on winter tyres and it worked in the snow surprisingly well. Roofs are for wimps :P
