NEC Classic Car Show 2012

Frankly, it’s been a really crappy few weeks. I’m afraid there’s no better way to describe it really! After two years, Dee and I have gone our seperate ways. So yeah, that’s about how good it’s been. To further add to my woes, the bug decided to dump a load of oil all over the […]

Cleaning Clarence

One of the first things my long-suffering other half said to me when I bought the bus was “I’m not getting in that thing until you’ve cleaned it!”. To be fair to her, there’s absolutely no way I would have spent a night in the bus in the state that it was in – it […]

The French Road Trip

Following the abandoning the of The German Job, we decided to take the bug over to France for a few days in mid September. The plan was to visit my Great Grandfather’s WWI grave at Guillemont Rd Cemetery on the 95th anniversary of his death. In the few days before we were due to sail […]
