Sorry to disappoint but its a 2007 Vauxhall Corsa.

Nothing as manly as a Landy, just cheap running costs and reliability. :)

Drive a Transit Pick up and a Corsa van for work.

We've had a Series 2 Discovery for about 10yrs. We bought it when the kids started getting old enough to start doing "adventure" type holidays and me deciding that with speed cameras etc everywhere it was pointless to have something quick as the main vehicle. It's got around 130,000 on the clock now and while it's not been Japanese level reliable it's been ok.

Now that I'm not bothered to much about keeping it sparkling it gets used as a general workhorse and is a godsend. It still gets used regularly for Eurotrips (next one planned for Feb) and I suspect we'll have it for a few years yet. You can tell when these things are just taken for granted as I can't find a single picture of it, although it is just off to the side of this one (a winter trip a couple of years ago!) -

I did consider buying an old S3 Landy about 5yrs ago when my son was coming up to driving age as I thought it might be something with a. a bit of street cred and b. something he could have the occasional tangle with the gate post without it all ending in tears. We did look at a few but in the end he went to uni in London where the last thing you need is a car - particularly something as easy to nick as an S3. My wife was particularly pleased when the project fell through!
