The First Adventure - Big4 Tweed

We were ultra keen to get out in the Expanda at the first available opportunity. So even though two of the family were a little under the weather, and the weather itself was forecast to be a shocker - we weren't going to be stopped! We left Ipswich around 10am with the rain bucketing down and for the rest of the day it fluctuated between light drizzle to heavy downpour.

The First Mod

Tonight I picked up some LEDs for the van. That makes it officially the first mod! The type of LEDs used can be found here.

They were a little dearer than some of the alternatives on eBay, however the quality looks better and these guys were local so I could easily drop around for pickup. The light's a little brighter (not too bright) but I much prefer the whiter light.

Stace has been busy cleaning, so it's almost ready for packing for our night away this weekend...

We bought the van home on Wednesday evening. Eventually got it nestled into a spot in front of the garage - which was no easy feat. Big thanks to CH for helping to man-handle it into place!

Now time to start thinking about it's first night out which will hopefully be next weekend.
