Now I just want to be reassured here Chuck, I take it there is no longer a requirement for lifting the suspension etc and therefore no need for carrying a step for the benefit of Mrs K to get in and out? It (the LC) was a lovely vehicle and the purchaser will get a good one as it got all the love it needed and more. Good luck with the new one, R&L.

Onyu Chuck, no excuses not to travel now.x

Correct Bob, no need for the step.
Delivered the Cruiser to the VW dealer this morning - they're gunna do all the changeover stuff including the rego plates. In the mean time they gave us a VW Golf, up market one, to drive around in till ready to pic up the new Tiguan. This Golf is a bloody sports car... really had to concentrate on the speedo, so easy to go waaaayyyy over. It's a lot lower than the Cruiser so that's gunna do some work on the lower back(!!) & the thigh muscles.

Yeah Dot, now when we travel the accommodation will be either cabins in van parks or motels... I think the van parks will be getting most of our $$$.

About to head out for lunch then wait for the phone call to pick up the new wheels.

Hooroo...

"tanks" here Chuck,
What sort of a Jeep did you get ..??.

Yeah... AS IF !!!

VW Tiguan, 132kw, White, dashboard like a cockpit!!

About to start reading the associated paperwork that came with it to try & get an idea into this old brain what I might expect when I strap myself in... next time.

Somethings on these new cars you just never will get used to in my opinion.
Suzuki I got bugs me at times.
Turn off the engine & you can't open or close any windows.
Turn on the ignition & the radio blows your head off. Turn it off BEFORE you kill the motor & it STILL does it next time too.
Need 6 compressions before it starts. The last 4 cars I had start on first compression.

This Tiguan feels like it almost does things just as you're about to think about doing it... or maybe my thought process is just a little slower than my actions.

Need one of the grandkids to visit & help out with all the settings... phew...

Something wrong there Bruce, we have 2 new Suzy's and neither of them has that radio problem. Yes the windows thing is annoying, I guess will get used to it.
