Alas poor Munkymobile

A dashboard without a radio looks like a face that's just lost a tooth. 

I'm getting itchy from being so de-powered since the van went permanently off-road at its MOT last week.  I can't dash off to rescue friends, run a bunch of bikes somewhere, or go to the beach for a swim or a surf or a paddle, or do anything ad hoc.  It's not the doing as much as the capacity to be doing that is vexing me: phantom driver ache.

Bus timetables appear to be lies, which doesn't help even if the main thing I'm missing is a chunk of my usefulness.  Part of me wants to get a heavy bike trailer.

Bah.  Ebay ho!  There must and shall be a new Munkymobile.  Possibly with Misery Machine graphics.

I think it looks brilliant. Good price too, but you know would more about the merits and cons of vans...

The T25 is a quirky beast. This one's the most gutless of the diesels, which makes me think not, alas. Its flat-out max speed is 100kph; not that I want to go fast, but I don't like to be flooring it to go slow.

It is nice, though. Le sigh.
