Not sure it was intentional but I do think my soft top Jeep Wrangler Rubicon suits me.

What it says about me - no idea....

Did really want an FJ but kinda went off them quite fast too.

my car (company provided) Chevrolet Trailblaizer 4 x 4. Dirty always, smelly as its full of sports gear that should have been washed weeks ago.

Family car. Prado VX. Bought it brand new in 06. We will sell it when we leave and not before. Love it.

I really don't care much about them, as long as what I am driving is decent and reliable.

yup, it's marketed as the Monterro in South America and I presume the same in Spain/Portugal.

My wife still things that the Fiat Punto is a funny name for a car because it is so close to pinto!
