This is the last new car I bought, and it will be the last. Not because it's been rubbish because it hasn't. I just can't see the point on spending the huge amount of beer tokens it will take to replace it with something as good, or better. It has given exemplary service during the almost 20 years I've had it and it's been to the moon and back mileage wise. Drives exactly as it did the day I drove it out of the showroom and does everything it says on the tin. However it only comes out very occasionally these days, for long trips and airport runs. I doubt I'll ever wear it out.
In the background is my daily runabout, a C15 van, with a half-a-van trailer should the need arise. That also does everything I need it to do, and more, but not with the same "panache" as the uber-barge. Strangely, the van attracts far more envious glances from the local peasants than the Merc.
