Agreed.
I had to stay in one in Ireland for a couple of days. Too bloody noisy by half, other people enjoying themselves can be pretty irritating.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Why not, if he's a bit peckish he can knock up a snack in the car park before he heads home.

Why not indeed? It actually makes me really happy to see him enjoy the fruit of his labor so thoroughly. He beams every time someone asks him about it or compliments it. I think it is one of the few things that he purchased purely as a selfish endeavor, finally. Mom likes it too but he would have gotten it regardless.

Last year's model. I think he said he got it for 104k. It is a trick rig. He is almost ready to give up his day job and start touring the US.Montegriffo wrote:Yeah, Mercs aint cheep. Did he buy it brand new?

Not daft then. No point in buying a new one unless you have more money than sense.Haumana wrote:Last year's model. I think he said he got it for 104k. It is a trick rig.

The States must be a great place to have a camper van, all that cheap gas and so many different sights to see. The places on my wish list would be on all 4 corners, Niagara falls, Miami Everglades, Californian coastline and Montana forests.

Re: Camper thread
You don't get the bulletproof warranty and all the slobbering that goes with a purchase like that. He never was a fan of buying used anything. But I am sure he got a deal for what he got. He loves buying houses and vehicles because those are the two big things up for negotiation over here. I have seen 3 of your 5.Montegriffo wrote: Not daft then.

It's a Merc, he has no need of a warranty. Which one of the four corners have you missed?
