    Town Day yesterday shopping for supplies.
    When I got home there was an e-mail awaiting me saying: "johnboy...ring me...Justin".

    Justin is a fellow Maverick, a good mate, and the 2 IC of LVVTA. (Low Volume Vehicle Technical Association.)

    So I rang.
    "Do you want the good news first, or the bad news?" he asked.
    Sigh.
    "Give me the bad news."
    "There isn't any. The news is that the classification process has been completed."
    And he went on to explain that "The Powers That Be" have finally seen the light and agreed with him (us) that it is a light vehicle destined to become a motor-home.
    Essentially they have said that it's a 'Station Wagon' albeit a rather large one.
    Yeeha!
    Justin you deserve a drink for the effort you've put in on my behalf. (I'll send him some tea-bags in the mail today. They're 'a drink' aren't they? )
    She Who Must Be Obeyed couldn't hear what Justin was saying on the other end of the phone, but knew it was good news 'cos my grin got wider and wider.

    So with that lot of bureaucratic bulldust out of the way; now the certification process can proceed.

    It's another step forward...the delay was getting depressing...and if I feel liike being depressed I can arrange that for myself...all I've got to do is stay home and read my Bank statements...

    Justin; you're a bloody beaut, your blood's worth bottling!
    And I couldn't be happier if I was twins!
