Mot and service done £249, insurance came today from saga £469 full comp and breakdown 365 days in Europe, might have a look round this year, but hate the hassle, too many extras to list for comparison sites means got to phone every time! Road tax still £165 been this since we bought it 11 years ago
Oh happy days

Not getting much Summer sun here,Valencia de Don Juan and doesnt seem to be any better within200 ks of here.Rain and more rain and looking like a week or two before it improves. Hardly worth moving,free wifi from the town hall,water and dump.Market on Thursday,maybe find some warm trousers.I fancy a pair of cords for the Spanish farmer look!!! We are still heading for middle Portugal where the weather would appear to be not any better than here. So sit on our bums and wait it out.

Brian. The sun is here so you just have to follow it.....good luck.
Full service including brake fluid and mot £350 at Imperial Commercials .
I can cope with that as it included all new exhaust brackets and gaskets... well impressed.
Asked about new 4x4 one.... nothing as yet but it's specifically for a motorhome.
Good luck with the trip.

At Pavoa Barragem bit busy with tenters,got our fishing licenses yesterday,20 Euros for 30 days.Be out on the water today.Water is high so harder to catch but should be easier with the fish finder.
