The "Gardener's Car" very OT at present
So, what is 'the' car for the 'Gardener' or 'Nursery Person'?
When we had a large garden, we had a large vehicle because we had a Cabin Cruiser to tow. When I lived with my daughter in the Staffordshire Moorlands I had a Subaru Legacy Estate I now cruise the country in a BMW and fetch stuff from the garden centre in that :-(( Seriously thinking of getting a van for that though My Daughter and Son in Law have a VERY large garden and use a Mitsubishi Shogun for the general running around, fetching and carrying, but use the Rolls or Jag for sedate motoring, or the MX5 for fun :-)) So, what do you use for motoring as 'a gardener'? Might be an idea to state your acreage here in order that we are not putting people down and making them feel inferior. Mike -- .................................................. .........

I drive a twincab ute. Don't know the UK term, but it can seat 4 people, or more to the point, me at the wheel and 3 dogs in the back passenger seat and has a tub back for the plants or manure or rubbish for the tip. We have 2 farms so I also sometimes let him use it for stock feed. |
