bugger I missed this.I told you before.
Toyota Hilux. Better built than any land Rover and will outlive the cockroaches. Unlike the land Rover which is unbearably shit. And I had to deal with enough of the bastards in the Artillery.

The Hilux is something I would consider buying if I ever need something that does what it does,which is at present unforeseeable, but it is awesome. Mind you, I think the land rover is awesome as well. Those and the rover mini are the only cars I would consider buying for any reason at all. But I can walk, so...
I just worked out, if I worked 47 weeks a year, 5 days a week, in the centre of town, at today's prices that would cost me 47*5*2*£9 = £4230 in taxi fares. I reckon plenty of people spend that much a year or close on their cars, when you take it all into account - the price of the car itself, road tax, insurance, petrol, maintenance...

Oh don't get me wrong,given a choice, which I was, I bought a Mitsubishi L200 Warrior and have had 3. But ifI wanted a monster I could not afford to replace each year then it would always be a hilux.
As for spend?
2007 I spent £67k on a car, beginning 2008 I ordered one and put a deposit down, end 2008 I bought another one for £11k and Mar 2009 the one I ordered a year before arrived which after credit crunch cost me £70k
I'm not the average motorist ;)
