the rubbish we used to drive!

(5.10.1982)

This was my way of getting around back in 1982 - an Austin Morris JU250 van. You can just make out the identifier plates on the front and yes, it did visit all these countries and regions! The top shot shows it at the top of the Col de Galibier in France. Although it's July that is snow! Me and brother Jeff slept here overnight and it was bloody freezing, in fact fresh snow was falling in the morning when we got up.

Second shot is in more familiar territory, up in the South Downs. Despite its appearance this van rarely let us down and I used it for a couple of years before scrapping it.
