for reasons totally uninteresting to the story ..... Sunday 1st january, lunchtime, I turns to herself and asks ..... "do you fancy an adventure ....???"
It's a '98 2.5 DSE, minding its own business .... last oil change was a year ago .... its well sorted, its on coils and winter tires .... but it has no idea whats coming.
With no preparation at all .... sleeping bags are in the back, suitcases on the back seat and we are heading out of Ediburg, south to Farnborough.
Only going that way cos I blagged some rims for the other car on ebay and they need picking up ....... anyway, back to the adventure..... dive into a hotel with herself, few beers and bed.
Morning its off to harwich for the boat to denmark ..... oh yes. Trouble is the weather is ****e and the boat arrives in Esbjerg 5 hrs late .... not a problem if you plan on staying there ........ but we have a boat to catch to Norway from hirtshals, 4 hrs to the North.
Hahahaha all goes well and we make the boat ....... Norway, snow ..... perfect, 5 hr drive to stavanger.
But thats only the start ....... 2 days showing the face in the office and saturday morning early .......... we're off to Trondheim .........and the weather is proper.....
Its about now you might be wondering who the hell would be dumb enough to take a P38 that old that far from home ......... I was thinking the same ....
Trondheim is about 600 miles away ....... the P38 hums like a bird......
and just for good measure this morning ....... we crossed the swedish border ...
and we are indeed a long way from home ....... hahahahahaha
