Van-tastic!

Our entire Wednesday was lost to the delights of a snap web purchase.  We took this much cash:





And swapped it for this:





Yes, an ex-Royal Mail 2002 LDV Pilot.  You can still see the Royal Mail sticker mark on the side but sadly, it did not come with a black and white cat.  We're going to kit it out with a bed and kitchen and drive off into the sunset, rattling and clanking at about 60mph.  My dream is to make it over the Alps to Mum's.  Ross's dream is to have it so souped up and insulated that we can do that in mid-winter...

PS: I did my 40 minute run first thing so I was actually asleep most of the way round.  Which could explain why I was so slow.
