one hell of a month or two,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

that’s been one hell of a month or two on the road, but the time may have come to park up the comfortably numb “its mot time”, just got that feeling she'll be parked up for the winter because I've seen a few nasty’s on her, it was funny when i saw her in the yard 003for the first time she had no battery strap and after the “so called mot” she still never had one, so in my books that ment it was a bent one, but it was love at first sight so in a way i did know what to expect, so in two week’s time in she go’s and let’s see, the only bad one I'm worried about is on the bonnet hinge, think the panel its bolted to is to for gone and if so will mean windscreen out and alot of welding, but at least I've the money by for alot of work on her, and when she’s parked think I'll make a start on the bodywork and paint up.

Good grief! is that a year of van ownership already - fingers crossed it's not to bad and you've got a little change left for a couple of bottles of Hobgoblin at the end of it.
Perhaps it's best to look out on the icey months from behind double glazing and dream up new destinations for the spring.

People think I'm crazy for driving a huge SUV that only gets 10 to 12 miles per gallon in town and about 15 on the highway but I've wanted a Ford Expedition since I first laid eyes on one and I've finally got one. Godzilla's due for annual safety inspection (our version of MOT) soon and I'm fairly sure it will pass but if it doesn't I'll just have to do the repairs. That's just the price we pay for driving something we love.
