End of an Era - Start of a new one

 Well it had to happen some time.

We have had the Pajero for 6 years now

We got it for Marion's horses when we both had company cars

Then when I lost my company car it became my main mode of transport. 

here it is in action, collecting wood ash. 

 we could go anywhere in it.

 and considering it's 20 years old

I always thought she didn't look to bad.

 Great in all weathers.

Ok that's going a bit far " rose tinted glasses and all"

she hated starting on a cold morning.

and quite often I'd give up and walk into the workshop

 But being old she had issues

 But she always pulled through

the number of times we thought, OK that's it.

 she never got stuck in a field

 and she was a real work horse

 But as the years wear on and her joints started to ache,

she'd done 114,000 miles

Last year she blew a radiator

and Marion and Caddy were forced to resort to desperate

measures when we were given a Skoda courtesy car.

So Now that Marion has lost her company car

and the Hangover became our only mode of transport.

We decided to shop around for a replacement. 

and here it is a Saab 93 Aerodeck 1.9tdi sport 

she's 6 years old but looks like it's just rolled out of the showroom

twice as many miles per gallon

cheaper to run

and above all reliable.

we bought it from the Saab dealer in Yeovil

these guys did us a great deal, and took the Hangover in part exchange.
