Lockdown :(

Well the great CV19 (Corona Virus 19) continues the country has been put into total lock down yesterday, luckily I haven’t ordered any parts for the van as most companies have shut down, however the light in the tunnel is that automotive industry has been allowed to continue.

I’m booking my van back in tomorrow to get the back door locks sorted. Hopefully they will be able to get it sorted out as they only partially replaced the door fittings last time it was in. I also need to get a new V belt fitted as the power steering is playing up and squealing like a piglet.

Welcome folks!

Before you go running away screaming he’s another of those mad camper van types who’s gonna get all techie, let me reassure you I’m no mechanic or a techie type and this site is only about the fun of owning a van and the freedom I hope to enjoy and share with you.

“The open road” said Toad

With this in mind, I’ve put this site together as a journal of my experiences in rebuilding my 1996 Volkswagen T4 called Christine (named after the 1983 film because everyone says she’s got a mind of her own) and the subsequent fun I hope to have in once its completed. Along with an incite to the places I go and the people I meet along my journeys.

I look forward to sharing the journey with you, so buckle up and welcome aboard….
