Tanks at her new Home

Post by Viscount Orange Biscuit » Tue Sep 03, 2013 3:59 pm

well finally got over to see Tank (Mk1 Marina Estate) and she is in excellent condition and shouldn't take much recommissioning to get back on the road ;)
she needs new tires but apart from that everything looks good, will do a pre MOT to see if theres anything thats obvious then new boots and MOT, get some road rent on her and start using her, planning on having her good to go by my Birthday 24th Sept but will prob me nearer 1st Oct as don't want to tax her at end of month ;) so will wait till Oct 1st .. if everything goes to plan ;)
Thanks to Ross for selling her to me, I will look after her ..

Nats now thats quite possibly she has a Tow bar and is set up to tow and our van is within the towing limits of the car, could bring 2 marinas then ;)
the only problem with having more than 1 Marina is which to use ;) lol what to do :)

now if i had another 4 the choice would be easy.
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday, Friday Saturday and Sunday lol

Ross sent me a card with her and a CD with loads of old photos of her while he owned her, now thats what you call history :)
