It's Here

6 Oct 10     Picked up the van on 30 Sep 10.  A couple of minor glitches; a delay of a week while the dealer replaced an aluminium panel that was probably dented by bird strike during transportation to Adelaide, the floor covering was the standard version, not the one we chose.  The salesman omitted it and we didn't spot it either; no real drama, we are used to it already.  Then the Weight Distribution Hitch towball shank didn't  fit the Mitsubishi towbar.  A quick trip to the towbar people and a wave of an oxy torch fixed the problem.  A further "cut and shut" is planned to tidy it up further.

     We were given a detailed tour of the van, plenty of instruction and tips but we later realised that we had remembered only about half of what we were shown.  We successfully made it back to Brendans, backing it into its parking space without many hassles. 
     There's also an amendment to "The Plan".  We are now building a new home in the village in Goolwa so we're looking at a delay while it gets built; probably won't move in until March ish 2011.
