Yup first time getting flashed and waved at by another VW driver :-) It happened to be a nice lady in a silver T5. It may have been a pitying wave. I would have tried to flash back but I still have issues finding things in the van.
Was back home at the weekend with the idea of sorting out the rust on the van and doing some insulating. Unfortunately the rust that we did find was a fair bit worse that expected. Treated both foot wells in the cab, might have accidentally put my finger through an unsuspecting patch on the passenger side but luckily it was a very tiny hole. Discovered both front door were rotted out at the bottom, which I am guessing means the windows are leaky. But anyway, treated the rust I could see then got the Father to give the patches a quick coat of white spray paint before it started hailing. Yup hailing. Welcome to winter.
In other news it was the first time Kat was able to ride in the van, think she enjoyed it given the grin on her face! Also for anyone from Sandbach, we managed 55mph on the speedo before the bridge on the by pass. And Dougie didn't sound like he was about to blow up, which is a plus. It is also pretty handy driving round with a tool box in the back, got to Mums house and had to utilise the 'Gear stick correction device' aka adjustable spanner, in fixing her toilet.
Sadly didn't take many photos this weekend and the ones I did aren't uploading! But I did find the video Tom took of me the first time we went camping. Notice the camera shake.
