dont get me wrong folkes, having a new car is not about the snobbery of having one.
its a matter of having a reliable BUISNESS vehicle.
i dont mind 20 bums sitting on the seat before me. im after a vehicle that hasent got 20 years worth of wear on the parts.
and yes i know there is NO garrentee a new car will get you there. but its all about increasing those odds.
take today i started a 2 am this morning. drove 7 hours to scotland. had a good day chatting with a friend. picked up the ulster which is what i was there for. and drove back 7 hours this evening. got back 15 mins ago. and i dont have to think about what could go wrong. were as my last van at 12 years old 190,000 miles on the clock. i got used to what would fail if something failed. so its always im mind will it get to scotland and back.
during next week the ulster will probably go down to KENT to be married with its blown engine. another long trip.
if it wasnt for running a buisiness, trust me id be looking for a pretty reliable cheap 20 year old car like everyone else.
I didnt get mood lighting on L200, but if they put them in on future models, i WILL insist on GRUMPY OLD MAN MODE
and dont get me going on keyless door locks, and push button starters. NOT NEEDED.
tony, having a grump.
now get back to talking about this lovely car being built.
