The car is packed

I have visions of Apollo 13 ‘bodging’ with all of these parts and tools. For those that can’t remember the movie, they had to make an air filter out of socks, hoses and duct tape. I’m sure with half this stuff we could make an awesome contraption.

There is a heap more stuff, and this hasn’t gone into food/toiletries but all that stuff is easily attainable. Some might suspect we have over packed… but I really don’t think we have. All of this stuff can be used to get us back on the move in a place where we can’t speak the local language.
Shortly there will be a video below which I’m sure people are sick of seeing our car, but it’s finally done.

Available in 1080p for those opti-snobs out there.
