What is it...seriously?   rubschin: New or used?

The week has ended on a bright and mentally sunny note for me.
Luvlee walk up me 'ill with growler jnr, and we took the long circular route. Thick fog and tit freezing, but great banter and excercise.
This of course was preceeded by a full Bears breakfast cooked in the woods.
Truly scrumptious. cloud9:

I then get home to view the footie results, and WOW!
Mancs, chelski and the bitter bitter blue noses ALL beaten! Absolutely stonkingly fantastic news.
I'm actually feeling quite joyous at this moment. Weird feeeling but true.  eeek:

Brand spanking new Growler, a Vauxhall Zafira, big enough for the grand kids and wheelchair

I had the DTi version before switching to the Picasso  ~ mine was black too ~ it was and IMHO still is the best colour for a Zafira.

Mine didn''t ~ Mine came with two very small, well spoken and polite little boys and a lumpy morose teenager. Trouble was, although the boys were happy to travel in the very rear seats they were about the only ones who could in any comfort and when those two seats were in use there was sod all room for any luggage so I switched to a five seater Citroen. All are agreed that it is more comfortable but it is not as fast or as economic as the Zafira.
The one added bonus is that with a five seater and five in the family I can no longer cart inlaws, outlaws or the THW's boyfriend around with us cloud9:
