Shipping update

So I thought I'd provide a quick update as to developments with our car. We're having coffees at Clover House overlooking a busy intersection. We've just come from having tea with Vladimir, the president of the shipping company. He is pictured holding up a prized drawing from Lana, the daughter of our famed adventurers Amanda & Jon who have 'been here, done that'.
We seem so far to have been very fortunate with the process so far. The only thing left is to clear customs which is happening today, and pickup *possibly* this afternoon, but much more likely tomorrow. I appreciate fully that this process could turn sour very quickly and delays could skyrocket.

Since actually seeing cash change hand for shipping costs as opposed to just bank transfers, I'm turning into Scrooge McDuck about the trip costs and am looking forward to the possibility of recouping at least some of our prepaid accommodation. Stingy I know.

Vladimir has asked to see our 'web site', but I'm a bit hesitant to provide, as with any publication, it needs to be written to the audience. This doesn't sit well with me as it would no doubt compromise my reporting.

You'll see my excellent drawing of how the roof rack works, used to explain how it's stored and how it's fixed. A diagram was also drawn to demonstrate the process of starting the car, as for some reason they thought we had some cryptic awesome security system.... Um, nope. Turn the key. When mentioned that the battery may be disconnected, they laughed and said effectively "pfst, no problem whatsoever. Easy. Der!"
