I'll second that.  ;)
I've got a 5 door, I'm thinking about taking rear seats out, having a custom made tank and getting rid of the berlingo van.

best thing about 4wd is you park up on deep snow at roadside and get about a lot eaiser without the worry of getting stuck ideal for trolley users worth the extra expense for 4wd without the need for a van
