We had existed on just one car, and the plan was to buy something more 'multi-purpose' for off-roading etc, then sell my Legnum. Anyway, we got a good deal at Turners auctions and BMM640 became my wifes car, although the Legnum stuck around and we ended up keeping it too. The thing about the CRV was its capacious interior into which you could fit an inordinate amount of gear, plus it had a picnic table in the boot.
We loaded it up and went camping many times, complete with roofbox and sometimes a surf board or kayak. It delivered good fuel economy too, whilst the ride was smooth and it was good on gravel roads and beaches.
