One delight this year was trying to get van insurance and having to tell disbelieving little twats that yes I am 44 years old and no, I haven't had a car policy in my name for over 15 years.
Luckily Direct Line insure me as a named driver on my wife's policy and they were quite good on price too so they did a little deal but I'm still paying over £250 Fully comp.
Whilst we're talking about vans let me tell you about my brother's new van. He has bought a VW T4 Transporter that had been partly converted to a camper van. The price started at £2,400, but in his typical way he ended up paying £800
He drove it up to Omegaman's place on Friday to pick up some bits and he reported that it drives really well. He also told me that the little television that was included with the van works really well, as does the state of the art cd/radio which accepts Ipods, mp3s etc. He's also pleased with the van fridge, camping stove and full awning. He really is the jammiest git I know.
