That's it then, the wine tanker, er, Picasso is off the road and everthing is set to take the Punto.
See you all in 2 weeks or so.

Wine held in the body isn't a problem, as for a roof box, I passed on a pair of roof bars on ebay thinking I'd not need any.
After all I have had the Fiat for 4 years and allways got by with out.
One answer to the problem suggested by Mrs. HG was a trip back to France later in the year, a short break in October maybe?

Bad news on the Picasso front..
..local ace garage is stumped, they're trying a few things in the morning.
It looks like we might be going to France in the Fiat!
That'll cut back how much wine we can bring back!!!

Good luck with the dog Dave, and with the semi retirement.
It's good that your job allows it, I could go that way but would loose far too much income thanks to government meddling with our pensions.
A folding trailer spider? you'll have to take a Caravan Club course on driving..
..they'll teach you where to sit on the road to cause maximum chaos, how to block junctions, where to stop in car parks...
Seriously, have fun, you could always head out with Dave and see some wonderful countryside.
Latest here is the C4 Picasso has thrown a wobbly with the elctrics, 5 days before we head off to France!

Apart from the odd cut from the above project I'm perfectly sound in body.
Maybe not in mind but....

Denmark sounds good, we're going to Copenhagen for a few days in August to meet some Swedish friends, it's our 30th anniversary of meeting them on a ferry.
We're all older but still no wiser as there's going to be plenty of beer consumed!
As for Zundapps in the UK, they never realy got a foot hold as a main bike and in the 70s were looked on as exotic and expnsive. The one I have is from an era when they wre even rarer on this side of the North Sea so any parts I need tend to come from Germany.
This is what I bought..

..yes the brown is rust, this is as she is a the moment..

Well, blood's OK, it seems despite what some think, that I'm in good health.
I've been absent lately because of another moped.
This ones a 1957 Zundapp Combinette S, it was a complete wreck but is almost ready for the road now. The boss told me to get another hobby after she found ALL my cameras!
So now it's mopeds (4 so Far!) and a cull on the unused film and cameras.
Have to sell one to fund the other...
Have you collected the camper Gwyn and is it as good as you hoped?

Like you Gwyn I haven't had one since the 70's, it tasted a lot better now than then and was a lot stronger...
...my son had visited a shop/bar in Leeds and got three 'wine strength' bottles, all very strong and tasty.
I'm of for the results of a blood test in the morning, I'm expecting them to say there's too much blood in the alcohol stream

Won't that make it awkward to drive and why a bike rack, I'd have got a top box...
....oh!
The awning rolls up and it's a rack to carry a bike...
...or 2?

Yes I'm back, well pickled and feeling great! and the little Punto did a stirling job.
A bit more expensive on fuel,she's only a 1242cc petrol engine as opposed to the 1600cc deisel in the Citroen, but 2570 miles on the clock and in excess of 60 litres of plonk brought back, and she drove just fine.
I've just been down in the wine cellar (I kid not!) and made Mrs HG's day, she'd forgotten 3 bottles of Chataigne (LINK) liquor down there, so had I!
still we're back relaxed, a good time was had and the local French wine stock has a big hole now.
