You have an eye for a bargain and the vision to make the right improvements in all you do. Wish I had half your energy.
The heat in the states is brutal right now so be prepared on your visit, that last pic of the liquid refreshment will be a necessity. See you soon...

Thanks Clem.
S10 is almost 3 years in my care.
It was my not to be sold car.
However, it is perfect, too perfect and I need to send it to a new keeper to enjoy.
The van is a bit of a change in direction, but not in my personal ethos and pursuits.
Yes, a bargain, yes, subtle improvements, and most importantly, my smile back on my face.
I look forward to seeing you guys, may try drag Dennis along too.
Next job after the vacuum cleaner was to get the carpet cleaned.
Even small jobs take time.
So I started with Vanish, clothing bleach type stuff.
Wet the carpet and worked it into all the stains and marks.
Then left it to react for a while.
Followed by the wet dry VAX cleaner.
Resulting in this.
This morning I opened all the doors by 06.30 for it all to dry out some more.
Happy with the improvement.
The 6 litres of water I used probably only returned 2 litres of very dirty water.
And for those who do not read words,……..

This morning once I opened the van to dry out the carpets.
I had a QC inspection.
Passed the security muster as well.
George suggested another road trip.
