Imminent arrival

Having purchased a new LDV G10 

a few weeks ago we're finally going to go and pick it up. Things have been a bit busy here what with one thing and and another. 

Which also means Alex's car will start its protracted journey from Westport to Invercargill. Much excitement then. 

Actually more looking forward to seeing family. Not that it won't be great to not have be clambering in and out of the hopelessly low-slung Corolla. 

Of course the first thing I'll do when we get the van back to Westport will be to head away for a week's caving. Then some time later on I'll start thinking about setting the van up with shelving etc. 

Thinking about I could have put the van rego on hold - hilarious. My licence plate won't Evan be the newest in town by the time to turns up here as I saw a newer one here yesterday, dang! But I'm pretty sure it'll be the first G10 in the Buller, yuss! There is a V80 here, whether it's a newie or not I don't know. 

I wonder how hard it will to get used to having the indicator switch on the wrong side, it's been 25 years since I've driven a vehicle like that.

See y'all when we get back.
