Added a 4x4 to the stable!

Bought my daughter's Suzuki Grand Vitara from her (at a good price to her - that's what fathers are for!), and she hands over tomorrow.

We were looking for a rain car to use for when the weather was too inclement to bring out the SL500, and to use when my wife goes somewhere creepy (ie, supermarket car parks) so she won't have to put her SLK in jeopardy.

The 6-cyclinder Vitara has got rave reviews from almost everywhere.

Why didn't I buy an ML and stay loyal to the brand? Price mainly. The older models weren't that good, and the new ones are depreciating like a lead balloon at sunset.

Trouble is, this 1999 beauty might be too good to take to these places... might have to buy a cheap Japanese s/w . Where does it end!

If you want to know how crooked a stick is, just lay a straight one next to it.

It's not the tall sails that bring a ship to the port of destination, but the unseen wind.
