APRIL 2010
WE ARE off the road for a while.
Some medical problems plus some work pressures plus a failed MOT.
Some discussion with wife, some argument from Ted, but Minivan is now being stripped and de-rusted and repainted. Should be back on the road in June. ???? Some chance!
JUNE 2010

Looking sad, but surprisingly solid. Just a few obvious repair points.

Stripped for action. Sub-frames are good, floor-pan is good. Just fill in some holes and away we go. Back into the salt and ice of the Winter.
This really is a working van. Seven days a week, night and day, on-call courier, for single 1Kg boxes and single envelopes.
The Minivan could carry more, but the driver is a bit suspect.
This site has several elements of the Matplymouth site but is dedicated to our Minivan and will be updated regularly.
