    89' Nissan Navara extended cab ute. Custom made for bikes. Scored it for 1200$, sprayed it matt black with that bitumen based under chassis rust preventative / sealer. Stuff sticks like shit to a blanket and has the texture of sharkskin. Tint the windows, add some eye bolts and a tuff-deck. Hey presto, instant cred from the boys' and the missus wont touch it! (looks to cool). Ive been driving it to work for a year (60KM each day) and she hasn't missed a beat. 2.3 under the hood, some decent bridgestones that were on her when I got her still plenty of rubber left. They guy I scored it off went and got a tatoo with the cash

    Wouldn't suit your criteria (due to engine size) but I bought a 2003 Ford Falcon thingumy to tow stuff. Works well too.
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    I tow 3 bikes on a trailer with an Audi 80 2.0l (manual of course!) More speed than the cops like and great on hills and cornering - with 3 bikes and all our gears.Cheap to run as well.Nice and comfy after a hard days riding.
    Whether you think you can or cant - you will always be right.
