A very sad day!
What a sad sad day! The van has now been sold, it only took one day on Autotrader to get shot of it, luckily the first guy who saw the advert on the Internet wanted it. I was amazed as he hadn’t even seen the van in the flesh and yet still made an offer on it. We bartered a bit and eventually settled on a price for which he brought mainly cash and the remainder in a cheque; it was kind of odd counting 15k in 20’s on our coffee table.
Then the saga of the satellite phone and our unsuccessful bidding on eBay for one finally came to a head when one was advertised at a bargain price of $1000USD as a “Buy it now” option. So no sooner had I got used to my cash mountain, I saw 1/2″ of it disappear to Indonesia on another piece of our essential equipment (at least our parents will be happy).
For those who are technically minded the phone we settled on is a Motorola Iridium 9505A and looks like one of our regular cell phones from the 80’s. Weighing somewhere in the heavy weight boxing category it can make telephone calls and even send SMS text messages, unbelievable eh!
