My new ride, 5.3 litre V8
It's a long a story which I shall not bore you with but basically my family and I have now emigrated to British Columbia, Canada and this is what I bought the other day.
It's a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche, 5.3 litre V8, 295bhp and 330lb ft torque. Does about 18mpg but otherwise it is very practical for us. Seats 6 people, can carry luggage, move furniture, mountain bikes, ski's etc.
It had done 39k (miles cos they use kms over here) and I got it for £12k.
I filled it up and it cost me $104 about £50 for 84 litres
It's not fast but it's so smooooothe.....

Lol, I've just brought an Isuzu Rodeo, i think it would fit in the back of yours.
Enjoy, wish I could get a job out there and get out of this ****hole.
