Something with a toyota badge on the grill.
I'm not a gynaecologist, but I'll take a look anyway.

Yes but with two kids, might be concerned about fuel economy (or lack of) especially in the sand.

V8 Range rover $2500 - $3000 for a real flash one complete with running gear, $800 for LPG kit (cheaper second hand) and you too can have $5.40 for every 100Km on the highway so economy is a moot point !

Go a Paj around 1990 model, or a Pathfinder or a Vitara 5 door.
