Buying a new car in Argyll is unlike any other retail experience. Right now we're sitting on a bench on the shore of Loch Fyne waiting for Peter - who has sold us 7 cars to date - to come back from lunch. As ever, he doesn't want to sell up anything too fast or too expensive, but we've spotted a new model and fancy it rotten. For one thing, it looks just the job for our lane, which is the nearest thing to Passchendaele (spelling?) you'll find outside a war zone. Watch this space - Jeremy C will be back!

Passchendaele was correct, though it is now known as Passendale, just as Ypres is Ieper.
ReplyDeleteEither way, go for the sporty model... but perhaps (with August fast approaching) a people carrier might be more appropriate! ;)
