Skip's 4x4 My Kia Sorento Turbo Diesel 4x4.

 My Mitsubishi Pajero 

Well, it's actuall my partner Jasmine's car. We decided to retire the Kia as it's too troublesome, and besides, the
Pajero is better setup for off-road, as it has bull bar, dual batteries, better ground clearance & more cargo space.

My wishlist:
Snorkel	Despite being a Petrol vehicle, I feel there are still advantages to running a Snorkel, including less dust into the engine, and the "ram air" effect, in addition to the lower risk of getting water into the engine, although if the water is that deep, then the ignition system will likely fail anyway.
