Well I Did It!!
Permalink  

Over the weekend had a look at a M/H - Mercedes Sprinter - took our mechanic to look at it - he said looked good - so I had until yesterday to make up my mind.  I don't know how many times I went to pick up the phone to say yay or nay but in the end it was a yay.  So I will pick it up next week.  All the butterflies, apprehension etc. etc. came into it but it is done and dusted now.  I actually didn't think it was going to happen for a while yet but here I am an owner of a M/H (oh! well nearly)!!!

Better you don't I reckon biggrin

Mmmm, what was the original topic again ?  Wombat has made things go "off topic" as usual. smile

 

Oh! I know, "You bought a Sprinter"  Nelly.

No that's not right. Oh what a feeling....Sprinter.

Nope that's not right either. Bugga , just enjoy your new toy Nelly.
