Well, I imagine it is.
A great story. What a journey.
Well done Keith and Chris.

Well done, beautiful truck. It has a new home but now there is an empty spot that you have to fill with a new project.

Default epic journey
Wonderful, she's soon to be loaded into the container and then on a ship to Basel via Rotterdam. Hope the African pirates won't capture her and she's being abused as their battle taxi ;-)

Keith has done an amazing job in getting her back on the road I'm really impresssed and touched!

She'll have a very good home hear and will be regularly driven around the mountains: going shopping, seeing other MVs at meetings, visting non-Blitz owners etc.

Will keep you posted abouth her travel adventures half way around the world.

Greetings
Chris

PS Yes, and I can finally change my signature
