We invent cars to replace horses - then tow the horses around with the cars?
Ah well, that's progress for you. |
Good observation, hehe |

Good point Tiny!!! The horse pulled all the carts etc years ago, done all the hard work, and now, they just chill out in their trailers, whilst our 4x4's do all the hard work, and pull them!!
As my bloke would say, waste of money.... KILL IT!!!!!!  (then I hit him!!!!)  |

I thought that off roaders - were for going off road  |
Correct me if I'm wrong, but they're not off-roaders, they're 4x4's. We use ours for pulling the horse-box, caravan, trailers etc. We've done many off-road events both with the club, and on our own, but have hung up our "off-road" boots in favour if tarmac. We're keeping the PJ though of course. No regular car is capable of pulling a large horse-box with two heavy horses inside. |
I wouldn't have my PAJ if it wasn't for the need to pull a double Horse Trailer legally either. I was well overweight with my last car and just one Horse.
If I was feeling lazy, I would use it to get to my stables, which is right at the back of an 8 acre (clay based) field with no access road through it, twice a day.
I have gone across there a few times but the car destroys the grass, and it is the horses dinner after all.
I really don't want to off road in mine more than neccessary as they are *beep* to clean the mud out of the arches, and it messes up the interior hopping in and out with wellies on (I am not a glutton for punishment, I prefer driving to cleaning).
Its nice to know that it is there when called upon though, as my Xantia was getting stuck in the gateway to the field and I had to be towed out of it last year due to even moderate rain turning it into porridge  .
If I was just getting a car to tow with (and not off road  ) I would have gone for a Volvo 960 which costs a fraction of the price of my PAJ to buy and run and was tow car of the year for umpteen years running due to its longer wheelbase !. |

| Erm, if it's got low range and LSD and centre difflock and a fair bit of ground clearence then I would think it has been designed primarily for offroad use The fact that it can tow half a ton of pre processed glue and dog food is just an added bonus |
