Wish me luck - I'm taking the new van for a run this weekend!

[Pert_UK]

I've had the van just over a month and it's my first car. Within 2 weeks someone had rolled into the back of it. Luckily their insurance paid up, and it is now fixed up. It's 20 years old, but just passed a mechanic's inspection and has had a good service.

So......I've ripped out the back seats, bought a mattress and some camping gear, and me and my girlfriend are driving 2 hours down the coast this evening to do some whale watching!

Wish me luck!

P.S.
Although this isn't a picture of my van or me, it is exactly the same (more or less) as my van!

Not sure about the name - maybe I will get more ideas after 48 hours inside it!

7. Oddly, that's what I thought you meant!

I would've liked a Combi, but to be honest we needed more room and 4WD...maybe next time!

8. Aww Hell Yea!

I remember your post when you got it, and that van looks pimp. I'm guessing yours has no light bar and (possibly) smaller tires, but that is some good stuff.

Good luck in your trip, hope you see some whales (800 gallons of sperm? eeeeee!)and you have a great time.
