Change of cars - not the mini

[Mini Ecosse]

Traded in the Mercedes for something completely different. Really sorry to see it go, but due to elderly parents struggling to get in and out low slung Merc it had to go :sad:

The old and the new

Very nice. I've been through the whole ' oldies having manoeuvring difficulties' problem myself but looks like you're still going to have fun with this. Happy motoring:thumbs up:

[Craig]

Very nice. Fifth Gear seemed to rate it very highly ;). I'm sure you'll have fun in it :yes nod:

[Gismo]

Oh yeah :motoring:

[N16SHP]

Nice!! Happy motoring!

[RobSco]

Very Nice Stephen... :yes nod: ... Was your photo's taken around the Lix Toll area, Just looks familiar... ??? ... Enjoy your New Car... :motoring:

I know to keep a look out for both cars when I'm up in Oban as I'm up there a number of times throughout the year... :thumbs up:

[AndyP & Lenore]

Very nice Stephen.

Which engine does it have?

Piccies taken between Tyndrum and Dalmally.

Will be looking for a :bigwave: when you are up in Oban:thumbs up:

Very nice Stephen.

A.

It's only the 2 ltr diesel.
You will like the 8 speed auto box:thumbs up:

[Mini Ecosse]

:thankyou: all for comments.

[Neil - TXJ]

Nice car. Will be interesting what mpg you get - they have been running one in the top gear mag and mileage is miles away from the claimed figures.

If I was looking for a new family motor, and could afford it, this would be my current choice particularly with the new auto box.

PMSL Just remember Andy, this is only one step up from a Countryman, you are nearly there :lol:

Ally's knee op will be sometime in the next three months and she will certainly find it easier to get in and out an X3.

A completely different style of driving required for this but we should soon get back in the groove. We had three Isuzu Troopers( not at the same time before you make any smart a***d comment:hand:) when kid's were young and spent every weekend there was snow up in Glen Coe skiing.

Very nice. I fancied one of these to replace my A4 but can't get the figures to work on the company scheme due to the C02.

Much better looking (and apparently, built) than the last model too. Enjoy!
