RE: What we expect our vehicles to do?
Good point BP, Speed and performance are really secondary to reliability and utility ie how much gear you can carry, safely and practically and how far you can go with it fully loaded. My bias is always to vans or van based cars and 4x4s because of the huge cargo space, flat surfaces for mounting gear like racks, cookers and extra jerry cans to. I liked my Transit cos even fully laden with our kit I could still sleep in it without having to offload anything, and with its normal compliment of extra jerry cans on board it has a range well in excess of 1400 miles. I miss the vans but economics and reality mean I have to downsize but at least I can now access paths and tracks only 5 ft wide and and getting nearly 50MPG, Mid size and standard vans from stuff like Berlingos up to VW Transporters are bloody useful to our lifestyle.
