OK just planning our next trip for the spring and it will be from here to Bordeaux down to Spain, Pamplona then up into the Pyrenees and then down into Barcelona before going along the Costa Brava into France and final stop at Coleoure before a blast north and home to Cognac.

I AM A FRAUD!! Just reading back through my posts I realise I did not live up to this statement but went to the USA instead .... a visit to the So Cal Speed shop was the highlight for me (so sad eh?)

I spent the odd day or three over the winter (brrh!) on the eternally creeping rust and it was covered in a layer of thick dust and cats footprints (the little swine) so I gave the old bus a 20 minute blast with my Karcher.

Now found the soddin' radiators leaking so had to remove it, unfortunately after sitting nice a snug in the same place since 1986 the rad would not come out without a fight. Three hours later and phew its out and I am a happy chappy.

Good to see you working on the van. Send some of that sun to Normandy, I need to blead the brakes on my Morris Traveller.

Think there is a set on ebay at the moment

They are BBS style alloys. I am not a particular fan but I do like the way the van sits on them
