I've done some research... (*cough* asked the Road Dwarf team car *cough*).... about LOIs and Visas and the general consensus is that I've left this a little late. Nevermind, I'm sorting it out for them, the drivers, now. You'd have thought that two seasoned travellers might have got this sorted out by now, rather than leaving it for an "old banger" like me. No, that wasn't a typo. Yes, that was a dig. That's what they've been calling me. In the press, on the radio, even on the TV. How embarassing. My friends from the yard keep texting me. "10,000 miles in an old banger." They've even threatened to make me a T-shirt with it on. Every news story starts the same. "10,000 miles in an old banger." Well, they'll see. I've got life in me yet. 10,000 miles!! I've been round the clock a few times. 10,000 miles is nothing.
