The X Trail was due to be changed as it was nearly 3 and soon to be out of warranty, and the wife wanted something different.....

Yeti ruled out due to not enough boot space for all her gubbins...

Freelander ruled out as still unreliable ( so 'they' say )

Tiguan ruled out as too expensive and not enough toys....

Ocatavia scout considered, but the ones for sale near enough to us were too old......

So.......

Getting picked up on Friday, is a newer X Trail, an Expedition Extreme, side steps ( why? ) roof rails with lights ( why?) no leather, but sat nav with reversing camera.

But worst of all, it's black..........

I hate black cars, they are a ****** to keep clean, especially ones the size of a bungalow.....

Bugger.

Sounds great Grumps - there's nothing wrong with black, and you could always get the wheels powder coated gold

I do as I'm told, it makes life sooooo much easier, and if I'm not at work I try to be as drunk as possible, so marriage itsself tends to be a bit of a blur. it works for me.

Next door neighbour's son has just bought a swb defender with jacked up suspension and a rover V8. You should have got her one of them!

side steps ( why? )

So " Dave the Dog " can get in and out

Notwithstanding the fact they've got a p*ss small boot, I still think you should have gone for a Yeti :yes:

They are the best cars in the world ever - just ask the Yeti owners on the Yeti forum

Eh? Pointless stupid things...

You are the only person I know who is tall enough to clean them without the aid of a stepladder!

I wouldn't mind, but the wife is such a shortar5e she can barely see over the steering wheel anyway...
