off off and away!

So it was all very exciting – drove down to Kent on Tuesday night, jumped in the ambulance and proceeded to freak myself out by how huge it was and how I totally cannot see anything behind me – no rear-view mirror on that baby!!

Then the blinkers decided to be slightly tempramental, I got bitten on the back of my neck by a spider – and could not believe that I had brought an ambulance for £255 pounds!!

So we stopped for some fuel at the begining of the journey and I fiddled with the blinker cabling and managed to convince it that really, it is a good idea to work, and blinking really was it’s job!

The ambi had started first time, lights worked and I even had high beams! We tootled down the motorway and while I was a big hesitant, she got up to a nice cruising speed of 65 miles/hour – totally motoring along!!

So got her home (around 10.30pm) and was exhuasted from all the excitment (and the spider bite too I think), parked her out the front and felt very proud!

Got up early Wednesday morning, leaving sleepy head in bed, took down a bottle of water, some cleaning things and my MOT checklist and proceeded to go down and explore my ambulance!
