Van, Van and more Van

Day after day....working on the van. It is coming around now, about half done with the bulk head in, the bed in, holes for the window cut, boiler almost in and most of the plylining and insulation on the walls.
Jaymie Mart came down for a few days to liven things up and add a giggle or two to the day's events. Check out her site for her version of the 3 days here in Shropshire. We managed to take a bit of time out for a trip to the go-kart track again which ROCKED. It was super-slippy as it had been raining a little bit. We had the track entirely to ourselves so Jill, Jambon and I spent the entire time trying to drift the whole track. With a few backwards manoevers and a smile on our face we headed home....and back to the van. It is starting to look pretty cool and should be a welcome treat in the pits next season. With the garage in the back and wicked living space, we should be loving life on the road next year. We are working on the bunk beds right now....trying to find a way to keep Jaymie safely suspended above us for the entire night!
Off to London on Tuesday for a magazine interview and photo shoot. Then a quick trip around the country to see family before we head out.
