Time to replace my R320 soon. Replacement needs to be big enough to tow a 1850kg max caravan, I want a 'proper' torque converter auto. Big heavy stuff is becoming a dinosaur these days so the choice is getting limited. I'd like a Jaguar like Lord Opti but my wallet doesn't stretch that far. 

I test drove a 16 plate Jeep Grand Cherokee today. Didn't seem too bad but the touch screen that seems to do everything kinda puts me off .... why can't there be a switch for the ? instead of scrolling through various menus & sub menus? The FIAT bit puts me off too 

I've a test drive booked next week in a 14 plate ML350 that surprisingly has quite a few bells & whistles.

Head or tails?

Down in these parts many large caravans are towed around on the rear of Ford Transits, or equivilant trucks, from many a lovely field to another lovely field.

Don't think you can go wrong with an ML 350 lovely vehicle.

The newest R Class is 2012 and I think this car is going to cost in the future .....  I've had it 7 yrs. I think I'm due another car.
