    Subaru Forester. Could tow a tanker, and the turbo goes like tulip off a hot shovel.

    That looks quite enticing, although I wouldn't like to think what those houses would look like after a hurricane!

    Why do so many Septics insist on building their houses in wood, making them a fire hazard and a depreciating asset (especially as they have termites and hurricanes over there) ?

    We house share on The Keys with friends from Nashville who bring down their own boat and we sail from the door. The sailfish was with a professional skipper who took us into deep water for the day on a very serious fishing boat and it was definitely a team effort. I cannot recommend fishing down there enough. Go.

    Malta is well worth a look too, Matt "the Tooth" Hayes has made some great films out there, worth a look
    Looks reasonably priced too.

    You can get an 2004 X5. Depends on your budget, if you increase slightly the shape changed after 2006, and new one is not that ugly. And if you can afford, go for a V8, higher fuel/insurance but plenty of power.

    Totally concur regarding fishing. I target fish for the dinner table and if I'm not going to eat it, back it goes.
    Love all sorts of fishing, although always return fish if I'm not going to eat.

    If people didn't fish for sport in freshwater, it is likely pollution etc. would go unreported and we would have no fish in the rivers / lakes.
    Its bad enough that the do gooders have decided to release lots of Otters, they are hammering the rivers
