He's been away for just over 2 weeks this time, making 5 trips so far to France & 2 to Scotland for the trusty D8 wagon, which has flown through 2 MOT's in the time he's had it and spent most of that time being used as a van for all his plumbing kit.
Cost him 800 quid & runs on about 80% FOC used veg oil.
He reckons on getting another year or two out of it too, then might finish the job of wearing out a certain 2.2 hdi exec estate, (if he's got his biodiesel plant working by then).
