MOT Time

Its that time of the year again, where the camper has to go and be judged as too if shes good enough to be able to drive on the road for another year.

Well i dropped it off this morning and a little over a couple of hours and result was in, PASS obviously. 

I was a little worried as they are always an unknown, but with no advisories it looks like the old beast is a strong one and now i don't have to worry about the drive upto Busfest as it would have ran out on the sunday at midnight, so putting a little pressure on the journey home, and then limited time would mean that it might have been a week or two before i could have got it done so early was the best idea.

Now the plan is to find a tow bar supplier and get this done at long last, been too long and its needed for our bike carrying.

New Mondeo

Well the replacement is ........


And so far only done a handful of miles but very impressed. 


Passat Gone



Well it's been fun, but after running to the dizzy heights of 112k miles it's time to let the Passat go to a new home. 
I know I said new home, and if the truth be known it's gone too Manheim Auctions in Bristol, where it will be cleaned and given a new home to someone in the motor industry, then hopefully someone that will look after it for another 110k miles. 
It's been pretty good, and there's only one occasion where I had limped it too a garage for repair in the 18months I've had it, and the act that's to follow has a difficult one live upto.
