Camper van being towed

camper van

Above: My campervan being towed to the garage yesterday by the very kind men from Grange Service Station in Rayleigh. It is having a new starter motor fitted (again) and by some miracle has passed the MOT only needing new wiper blades (again).

It is looking likely that we will therefore have it for Greenbelt, as there is not really sufficient time to do the cosmetic bodywork required to sell it before the wedding even if I was to want to do so. It is likely that I will want to sell it in the longer term for the simple reason that I have nowhere to store it. The parking space at Maddie_C’s house unfortunately has a height restriction, the curse of high-top campervan owners everywhere.

    Oh no! Don’t sell your camper van. Regrets, you’ll have a few.

    Is that anything like the 80s band Camper Van Beethoven?

    It is always nice to observe the ancient male tradition of having at least one man standing back with his hands on his hips when a mechanical, electrical, plumbing, engineering or vehicle related problem is being addressed.

    Was this man ‘tutting’ or audibly drawing in breath between his pursed lips? If both, this man is very manly indeed.

    Actually Augustus, he can only truly be considered “very manly” if after the tutting and audible drawing in of breath he frowns, shakes his head and says “ooh, it’s gonna cost you”.

    Back in the 5 minutes when I considered retraining as a plumber (considerably less like career suicide than the current PhD), I did wonder if they had specific classes on how to do that. As I’m a girl I might have found that bit a bit challenging.

    Pah! You silly girl. You would have failed. The frown comes AFTER the shake of the head.

    OMG that was such a crass faux pas!
