Whelbourns in Canada

• Saturday 25 October 2008 - Shopping Mission Completed Successfully

For those of you who are unaware, in my last entry I was discussing shopping for a new car in Canada. I described how people actually drive around the car lot and look at cars without actually getting out of the one they are in!. Also I had leased a car (Ford Escape) for the first three years as a way of building a credit history. Well the Ford Escape was going back to Ford and I was looking for a new car to replace it.

.

I have successfully purchase a car, if some what unimaginative. Yes you guessed it a Ford Escape . A nice 2009 XLT model with towing eye and all other modcons, in an Julie approved colour "Bright Sunfire Red".  Obligatory Photos below

 

Parked on the drive in the autumn afternoon sunshine.

Nice wheels! Are you going to take it off road? Or is it a pretend 4wd?! Would like to see how it compares to my landrover!

• Sunday 26 October 2008 - It goes off-road

Not a robust as a Landrover but it still manages to handle off-road driving. My previous Ford Escape had several foray's 'off road' a year. I was surprised at how well it handled off road because I wondered if it was a pretend 'off-roader'.

My dream is to get a Lannie and fix it up and take on some real off roading. It is the only thing I really miss from leaving the Army in 1985.

I love the colour.

I can't believe they don't get out of their cars to look though. How odd.
