I did consider a pink velour.

I've stayed in smaller hotels.

Very nice.

I have been thinking about your van conversion and to it's, almost completion. I have decided to make this offer , to complete the project the only thing left to do is to test it.

My generous offer is for me to take it on a long trip around Europe for you. I won't charge a penny, no, not one penny and when I get back I will tell you how it performed. Yes I know you are shocked but I am one of those salt of the earth type of blokes.

Please let me know where I can collect the van at a time suitable to you of course but as I will be away for three months so I suggest you make it soon as you will need to have a full service when I give it back and I know you will want to use it this summer.

A two word answer will suffice. You're welcome.  :thumb:

Are you sure?

@ Diver - It would be reassuringly (eye watering) expensive.

Nice work by your chosen van contractors there FR. We have a local firm who do the same here too, some very nice conversions.  :thumb:

Here's a suggestion for a café stop on your next sortie on the continent, Café Rathaus at Staufen on the edge of the Schwarzwald, just happened to be there last week.

 
So how's it going so far then?
