As usual - after 8 months of time in which to plan we have pretty much got everything done in the past 11 hours. We woke up this morning with no V5 document to prove that we owned the car, half the team had no medical travel insurance, our passports were still in London, we had no roof rack, we still hadn’t fitted new headlamp bulbs and James was still AWOL in . . . someplace. Oh, and we had a screw embedded in our brand new tyre.
The biggest news for today is that we now have some absolutely awesome stickers! Visesh and I drove into Letchworth to visit Halfords and to get the screw removed from the tyre and possibly fixed if it was a problem. The screw was removed and had not yet done any significant damage! After a little explore we passed ASAP and popped in to see how much it would be to make a sticker and whether they could make it today.
We explained what we were doing, where we were going and why and they got pretty excited! In the end they made us four fantastic stickers with the Fit For Purpose logo and this web address. The most awesome part of all is that they did it all for free! They even put them on for us, nice chaps that they are.
So if you ever need anything printed then call these guys - the stickers are amazing and beautiful and they just make the car look like its up to the job. They also produced them in only 5 hours on top of a full day of work - just awesome!
I’m using the word awesome too much. But they are awesome - thanks guys if you are reading this 
In other news our roof rack, James, V5 and passports have made their way over here and things are really coming together. The roof rack is fitted and everything is piled on the lawn ready to be packed. Am now off to do said packing as it would be great to have everything ready for the morning.
Everyone remember: Big London Launch in Highbury Fields Islington - everyone welcome. Pig roast, traditional Nadaam and all the teams and cars lined up!
Pictures to follow of car sticker application and packing but technical problems right now!
Love to all!
