One of my mates lives in a converted Luton. He used to live in an old ambulance. One day (during covid lockdowns) he was driving through a small town when all the people on the side of the road started clapping him because they though he was NHS staff. How they thought that a bloke with a large Mohican haircut was NHS staff remains unknown. I guess they just looked at the ambulance and clapped
Happy to hear that your van got through its MOT skip.
