Wednesday 24th September: Big Purchase!

Having been around every car show room in Kelowna and test driving a couple (yes, even me - on the right and managed not to crash!). We asked a couple of the dealers to look out for a Mercedes ML350 (4x4) as v. reliable and we have been told that a 4x4 is mandatory in the winter over here, especially for the drives to the ski resorts...

So.... 4 hours of negotiation later we walk out the proud owners of a 2003 ML500 (okay so its a little bigger than planned with a 5 lt V8 engine....gulp!) for a frac over £10k....not bad...must have been a good deal as, when we went to get the cheque for the car, the bank staff asked if we could buy their next cars for them!
