Day 7

Sean – We woke up at half 7 so we could bring the Landie to kelvin’s place so that he could check it over and tell us what needed to be fixed and fine tuned on it. After looking it over he told us that we needed to get the shocks changed as the previous ones had seized on it and have a new head gasket fitted in the engine. Since we had a bit of spare time in the morning we decided that it would be a good time to fix the jerry cans to the roof rack, which required a bit of drilling and hard work.

Once we had the bracket and cans fitted onto the girl it was getting about 3pm so we decided to drive to the supermarket in the Atos to grab some lunch. After we got the food we headed back to the Atos, jumped in then remembered we needed to grab some pad locks for the fuel caps of the Landie, so Stu jumped out and passed me the keys to the car as he went to the hardware store while Jamie and I stayed in the car. After a minute or two me and Jamie decided to jump out and see how he was getting on but soon realized after the doors were locked the keys were left inside of the car leaving us stranded in a supermarket car park. Luckily the key ring that the keys were on were facing upwards on the back seat and had the number of Avis on so I got on to the phone and called them up to send a spare set down.

Once we got the keys and the small bill we were ready to set off again back to kelvins where we could finally put the padlocks onto the Landie and chill out again.

After an hour or two playing around trying to see what we could do to the Landie we headed back home so we could get ready to go out for sushi with Fallon and her friend Candice.

So me Stu Jamie and Fallon got to the sushi restaurant about 7 o’clock and waited for Candice to get there, when she did arrive she said she parked her car into a hole (see pics) in the car park and needed help getting it out when we finished our dinner. When she said that I thought that it would be a small pot hole in the middle of the car park where it was a bit dark so she wouldn’t have been able to spot it, but when we finished dinner and headed to the car park we soon realized she parked it in a massive crater underneath a huge light, no idea how she didn’t see that. So us men being the gentlemen we were helped her push the car out of the hole whilst the security guards were watching in amusement. After that we headed back home to get ready for the next big day ahead of us.
