after 6 months off the road....

Post by chickenjohn »

My Traveller just passed the MOT at the first attempt. I am chuffed, just a few advisories. :D :D

Wave at me if you see me driving around Kent!

(sorry for the self indulgent post but it is great fun driving my Traveller again after 6 months in the modern runabout)
Cheers John - all comments IMHO

I was driving back on Thursday from Chertsey on the M25 in my newly sprayed moggy , when a chap passed me in a highway maintenance vehicle came along side and started waving, then as he left on the next slip road he put his orange flashers on the top of his vehicle as though to say ta! ta! it certainly put a smile on my face :D

Mr Ray, Haven't you got the equivalent of the London window-sticker 'My other car is a Bus' so peeps know 'where you are coming from' Otherwise, they might think you are waving them OFF the road?!!! :D

Chickenjohn, I had the impression that you had an unquestionable Traveller, always in use, etc. Perhaps its the on-the-front-drive pic. gives that feeling. So, Congrats! What are the 'advisories' and your plans for them? I'm nowhere near Kent - Theres a little conurbation called Londinium those Roman-fellas stuffed in the way.. All these years on and no-one has made any effort to clear it up - in fact, its become bigger! :o
