Hi All. We are obviously, from what I have read, and, as the nickname suggests, slow. only joining this club/forum? on Monday.
Both June and I are over 70 and have decided to buy a car and caravan and see this great county, before we aren't allowed.
I didn't know there were so many "Youngsters" running about out there. Who's working in this place now?
The decision is now what to buy. Does anyone have, or know someone with, a Benz ML320cdi after '06. Difficult decision between a 6 cyl Land Cruiser '03-'05 and a ML.,though I expect I may be told differently.
What caravan is another story!
Look forward to meeting a few of you out and about when we get out and about.
Seems like a great sight/forum and I sure I will learn a lot from you all.
John and June

Good on you Robo24. Happy birthday for that day. It doesn't hurt! In the morning after, maybe a bit.
So that means you reckon Tojo is pretty good. Towing a mobile house at that length! I was looking at 20-22 foot.
What sort of economy are you getting if you don't mind me asking?
I would prefer a 6 cylinder petrol or diesel.
