Awesome People Get Syrup With Their Waffles

July 5, 2007 by dunny.

Disaster makes it all worthwhile.  We got to the car yesterday morning and spent some time tinkering around, got her started, did a few tests…little things.  Then Andy pressed down on the gas peddle and knocked a hole in the floorboard.  The “all the structural work is done” promise from the seller was about as truthful as Andy having a clean health history.

Needless to say, we refuse to Flintstones to Mongolia, but dammit we didn’t get into this to lay down and get dejected.  We hit the pub yesterday afternoon, then had dinner with Sophie and her parents, who own a vineyard in Malmesbury…had a gigantic meal with their own wines…and headed back to camp.

This morning we caught the bus to Swindon to try and find a phone, stopped by this here Internet cafe, and found another car.  This one’s actually owned by a mechanic and we’re fixin to head down and check it out.  It’s not easy being awesome.

Wait, yes it is.  Much more to come tomorrow, and not just on the car……[HINT, HINT, HINT]
