It was certainly an interesting day. After going to the bank I spotted this across the road....

And went across for a mooch.. turned out to be the SRT8... sounded :cloud9: Any how it was too much money. The sales chap pointed out Jemima, handed us the keys and said "see you later" and "drive it like you stole it" ... ok then :teeth:

 

An hour or so later deal was done. We had coffee, the finance stuff was very painless. Then he phoned the ICBC (The DVLA to you) Yep they will be along in 20 minutes with your new plates. Sure enough on time a young lady appeared, we sorted out the insurance. plates on the car... Job done.

 

Although the ICBC did not accept our no claims history from the UK (that has been sent off to be validated) so we did not get 43% discount.... so wait for it.... $3960 :scare: They will refund us the difference when its sorted :D

 

Jemima is a 2010 with 28K km on the clock. The last owner was an "older" chap who obviously looked after it. Not a scratch or mark anywhere, The V8 makes a nice noise to. Just need to get a cover for the skip bit at the back and maybe a lift kit and some chunkier wheels :blush: ... but maybe not this month :lol:

Eco V8 . . . . http://consumerguide...uying-guide.htm

 

Its a small V8 compared to the 7.2 Monsters that cruise around, but hey more MPG for me :teeth:

 

We parked next to a RangeRover yesterday.... now they look small :p

 

@ Will . . . fuel is currently $1.09 (CAD) per litre, if we pop over the border its $0.71 - $0.85 (US) depending on where you go :yahoo:

Thanks Everyone B)

 

My god that RAM is HUGE! Doogy lol Nice one B) Bet it pulls like a beast!

 

Even though I can lie down in the back, its small in comparison to a lifted 1 ton Dooley Mega Cab with a 10' box on the back :surrender: And the hood (sorry bonnet) of a F650 is way higher than the roof of ours :scare:
