Don't really know what cars they have over there in Europe, but oldsmobile makes some good reliable "boats". A van would be good if you need to hold a lot of stuff. Just make sure you have a huge system in it and custom fiberglass the whole thing. A truck might be something to look at too if it is possible for you.
