The Van That Can

As one of the boys put it, it was looking like we might have a 'Chevy chase' around Europe - dashing from border to border in a 'Smokey And The Bandit' style, to evade police capture for having no MOT on the van.

As much of an adventure as this would have been, I'm happy to report that the van PASSED its MOT test yesterday, and we are ready to roll on to the ferry (assuming we get as far as the port.)

We now have, ooh, about three days to road test the van - the first time it's driven more than a mile in a couple of years. Fingers crosssed! [this might have to be the motto for the trip]
