Re-matriculation

Decision made, which means that we'll not be trying to get the Chelsea tractor back to the UK for its MOT and possible part exchange for an automatic due to the deterioration in the old boys left leg. The decision is to keep the car down here and to get it re-plated as a Spanish vehicle. This will mean getting new headlights, reversing light and fog light fitted but it will be a lot cheaper and much more convenient than the UK option. The other aspect is that it's a tried and tested vehicle and we need something that's going to be reliable on these roads. If it gets to the stage that Dave can't drive it any more, he's going to get Jeni a chauffeur's cap and start sitting in the back!
