i'm a fan of dry travel

i have decided to buy a car to supplement my motorbikes once i get back from siberia. so now i have the fun task of having a bit of a think about what car i want. currently in the running are:

i eat hatchbacks for breakfastsome sort of kick-ass jeep:
lovely and rugged. i could drive over/through anything. i love them but i will feel environmentally evil. although you can get a lot that run on LPG.
the best: land rover defender with pick-up back and crew cab
the worst: porsche cayenne

i am SO gangstabig fat american luxury sedan:
see entry for jeep, but without the environmentally happy option.
the best: 1959 cadillac eldorado
the worst: 2006 ford crown

i'm cute and fast, like a swedish olympianickle two seater sports car:
so much fun, but i'm not a hairdresser. and is it enough different to a motorbike?
the best: ac cobra
the worst: audi tt

i am nothing if not awesometarmac bustin' street be-atch:
is that just silly? (i hope not)
the best: anything with a flame paint job
the worst: anything without a flame paint-job

practical, fun, different, hungry, vansweet-ass funky love-wagon van type geezer:
perfect for carting all the little gaffertapers around + drum kit + y'know all sorts of stuff.
the best: the a-team gmc
the worst: ldv sherpa


basically, i'll consider anything if it isn't a wee hatchback designed for old ladies to do their shopping in.
why is it that chavs have decided that a shopping trolley with £20,000 worth of low-quality fibre glass, terrible paint work and (literal) spoilers, is the ultimate driving machine? hatch-backs were designed so your granny didn't have to lift her shopping far to the boot.

it's the same as those kids who put sports exhausts on scooters.

morons.

but anyway, i welcome suggestions. please leave a comment with any ideas. i will entertain them all (except the hatchbacks).

(unless it's an amc gremlin which are awesome).
