Just found out Macca has NOT managed to tax the Mystery Machine yet. The insurance company has not sent out the cover note and so we have four hours until the Post Office closes to get it sorted.
Tick Tock.
On a happier note we have made the pages of the LB and MK News's

T-Minus Two
Ok so we are attempting a blog on this road trip and like our car I don't hold out much hope of getting very far!
We are now fully road legal, tax, insurance and MoT. We even have breakdown cover (I think) and a packet of plasters.
Me, Graeme, and Skinner are threes up sleeping in the van - sorry, Mystery Machine - while Macca and Mads will be slumming in some sort of hotel/hostel. At least that is the plan.
That van is going to stink. Thank the Lord for Oust!
We will be getting up at 4am on Thursday to catch the 6.30am crossing from Dover to Calais as long as Macca has changed the booking. Otherwise its up at 2am for the 4.40am crossing.
Sleep when you are dead, I say. Which judging by the brakes on the wagon could be a lot sooner than expected.
Matt
What the HELL are we thinking??!!??
We have to travel 2000 miles across Europe in a car that cost £300 and has dodgy brakes, a leaky fuel pipe and a strange clunking noise when you turn right.
Crazy? Of course. But just to add to the mayhem we are all going dressed as the Scooby Doo gang in our customised Mystery Machine!
Graeme, Skinner, Macca, Mads and Matt will be eating, living and sleeping as the ghostbusting team on the road trip from hell.
From LB to Paris, Munich, Prague and Berlin our bucket of bolts will attempt to clunk its way across five countries in the Coyote Rally – a Gumball for old bangers.
We will be travelling in a 1986 Toyota Town Ace (one careful owner, fsh) and are wondering whether we will make the ferry to France.
Since we are taking Scooby Doo with us what better way to help other animals than by giving some cash to our supporting charity the RSPCA.
