30 mile collection... no need for camping gear surely?

[brownnova]

I’m unusually nervous about this one... especially considering it’s only a 30 mile jaunt... (well 28 to be precise) 

But the plan is to go collect as soon as the baby stops feeding... 

Im going to stick to the A roads and definitely avoid the narrow Welsh lanes... it’s only done 227 miles in the last two years... so I’m hoping a 30 mile jaunt home will be ok!

[brownnova]

True!! 

 

Welsh lanes are the most direct route... C5 the choice of collection vehicle. 
 

Baby asleep.

It will be the third G reg member of the fleet.... 

Currently neither of the other G-regs are roadworthy....

It appears to have enough floor remaining to enable a carpet to be fitted, so can't be a Sherpa.

After the arrival of the baby our old van was too small for the 4 of us plus baby gubbins. 
 

So it went to live in Scotland with @cms206

This left us van-less and bereft... so the search was on, the key features we were looking for were: a bit newer, at least 4 three point seatbelts and roomier. 

Well we got roomier...,

Talbot Express! 

Van prices have gone crazy with the Staycation but when this one popped up locally and for a decent price, we couldn’t resist and had viewed and agreed a buy within 24 hours of the advert going up!

It’s in cracking condition, and has almost no rust at all! (Which is damn rare for one of these).

Chuffed.

You’re welcome any time.

Aye, interior shots are needed tomorrow! Looks lovely that! Have you broken your anus on the handbrake lever yet?

[BL Bloke]

That looks rather nice. Looking forward to seeing the interior.
