Commuter/Workhorse or Two Cars?

    Hello gents, looking for a little bit of help here.

    I sold a 06 Landcruiser commercial on Friday, only had it a few weeks and it was a great yoke workhorse down here but it just wasn't suited to my midweek commute (travelling to Dublin from Kilkenny and back daily ~ 120-ish km each way) for work.

    I'm driving a cousin's Landrover Defender at the minute and its a great machine. Does everything, and I was thinking of making him an offer on that (I could get it cheap) but I know already that it certainly wouldn't be near as good as the Landcruiser on my midweek commute,

    which brings me to my dilemma. Do I a) find something that offers the best of both worlds or b) make an offer on the Defender and buy something for going to Dublin midweek.

    My issue with (a) is obviously finding something that will be able to offer comfort, power etc during the week and take a trailer and ragging on the weekends and my issue with (b) is just trying to keep two cars legal.

    I'd prefer to have one car but with a budget of about 10k I can't really find anything that suits. With a second car I could spend about 3-4k, could be diesel or petrol, just needs cruise control and anything after that is a bonus.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but would appreciate any in put or suggestions. Cheers
