I like the new start-up business, roast chestnuts. Appropriate time of the year too (you might get better sales in the UK though especially if you bring the fire (somewhere near Marble Arch perhaps??)

Can't speak for today but years ago in Oman that would have been perfectly okay to drive on the road but a fine would be issued because it was dirty
Is it a hilux

Wonder if it's got an MOT, or the Greek equivalent?

Bringing back fond memories for us Tam, we stayed at Stoupa in 2002, and visited all the little coves and bays up as far as Kardimili snorkelling everyday, absolutely loved it the only complaint was from the boss I can still hear her screaming ' I will walk down ' as I turn off the road and make my own route down the embankment to a secluded beach.

Bob.

Every 3 years apparently

Moved on today ...stopped at neo itili had lunch and walked from there to lemeni ....then moved on to geromelinas for tonight.

Dogs are knackered so they are in the van sleeping and im having a frappe with a view. On the road here i saw a pack of 7 dogs herding goats all by themselves no person about. The small ones kept the goats at the side while the bigger ones stood in front till you slowed down . Very clever

It's a 307D but there's something strange about it, it seems to have more rounded panels than I remember (perhaps a later front??)

Like every other van they have, but they seem to have a good supply line.

I've had a think and come to the conclusion that it's the front bumper and could it be a 4x4 or just bigger wheels?
The rear certainly looks interesting if a little flimsy on the bottom box section to carry much weight? Take care!

 

[Masman]

This one was in a bad way .so they chopped it a bit.Been running around Corfu for a few years.

 

[jwells]
