Time to update my posting in this category.

What do I use my Fronty for?

As a sign of affluence of course :D :D :D :D

(or is that effluence?)

It also still has traces in the carpet of my Border Collie's bodily fluids after he was put down at the ripe old age of 16 on the way back from the vets in 2001. Kind of sentimental about that.

I bought the vehicle initially because of its spacious interior which is ideal for my hobby as a Mountain biker the bikes go on the back and all the equipment is just swallowed inside the enormous boot space. 8)
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming...'Wow! What a ride!

I use it only for fun.
I sometimes tow a trailer with 3 motocross bikes into the woods with it.

Re: what do you use your fronty for by pinky on Mon Jan 19, 2009 4:19 pm
Bought mine when I was a marine engineer in Norfolk, ideal for crossing fields to get down to the river side. Also good for wading round flooded country lanes as there is no drainage in the back of beyond, good fun though.

Re: what do you use your fronty for by ukcobra on Mon Jan 19, 2009 4:26 pm
Mine was bought purely for Green Laning and Off-Roading. It now gets used for Dump runs and when the main car is in the garage.
As it was purely a fun car, I have n't had the time to use it as much as I would like. It needs to have more mud time.

I really enjoy driving it. The SWB with coils drives much better than the 2 I had with leaf springs. It also drives better with new shocks !

Re: what do you use your fronty for by fizz on Wed Jan 28, 2009 2:07 am
I use my Fronty for everything :D

We do at least 60 miles a day what with going to the stables twice a day and going to work and back. Its a long day and I'm filling up with petrol at least once a week, but I love my Fronty :dance:

I will use it to tow in the summer, to take the horses to the beach and the south downs. For now it lugs hay to the fields and transports cats to shows and the vets. Its usually packed with cat baskets and horsey stuff with a child seat squeezed in.

I do wonder now how I coped with the Xsara!
You can never have too many cats or too many pairs of shoes

Re: what do you use your fronty for by mikovitch on Wed May 20, 2009 10:05 am
Yay! another horsie person, errr.......... :offtopic:

The green fronty gets used as a mobile tack room for the ponies, there is just enough room to get in the drivers seat past all the stuff and tons odd bits of hay that has come away from the bails. :lol:

The silver one is the work in progress and what I drive everyday. Mainly used for runs to the tip, getting about and will be the mud magnet eventually.
No More Nails, Duct Tape and a big hammer. Who needs a tool kit?!

use mine for most things but mainly for commuting and fishing trips (which if PETA had their way would be hunting) ocassionally I just use her for enviromental purposes (global warming is a good thing, everyone is happier when it's warm then when it rains for weeks the FOGGERS get lots of nice wet mucky mud to play with. everyones a winner)
