Hi yes here is the new car!!looks ok doesnt it!..apart from the kids say it smells of sick ( it does )..but its probably gonna smell a whole lot worse after we have done 3000 miles in it!! Hey the radio works! definately the most important working part on a car I say….and its purple..a girlie colour…..and its a pontiac….classic American ..its done nearly 200000 miles!! we looked on a review site of the car which was pretty horryfying…..we laughed and laughed!! some reviews were great and we are hanging on to thier positive words!!but far too many of them slated our make of car..here of some of the repeatable ones!!….theft resistant..no-one wants to steal it……..It has won awards for being in the least reliable cars for the last 8 consecutive years!!!…..you have to try to make junk this bad!…..a rolling junkyard! Hamish found some saving graces in these next 2 comments……It looks sexy………and….picking up girls..no problem!! what!…Charlotte has told Hamish it takes a confident man to drive a pink car!It seems to run nice but you know our track record with cars..please pray this will be the exception to the rule!! and get us all the way to LA in time to catch flights to Guatamala!!We wont have resident mechanics likeJeff..my Dad and Dave Shep to come over and get the thing going! The car salesman couldn`t believe we were doing this trip and kept saying “is he for real” behind Hamish`s back…well I`m afraid he is real…..and I think were going to have fun!! I will end on a musical quote from a band some might know called fat and frantic……we will get there…….” on a spanner and a prayer”oh nothing to do with the car… George vernon I have already used your journal…I`m hoping to use the church piano in the next couple of days….feeling songs coming along!! and Katie I have used your lttle manicure set my nails have never looked so nice!!! having a bit of space to actually do them is lovely! thankyou ..miss you all guys!! write soon…keep us in your prayers..cheers veronica…yes we have brought the banner you all painted for us photos for how many uses of a banner will follow!!!!! they will be good.And our camera broke!!we have to buy a new one ..If only Nik vernon had lent us his new one!!!!!!!!! hope all is well at church ,I miss playing lots but sure everyones doing a great job!God bless you all.thanks for all your emails ..appreciate them!love Rach and Ham and kids.Please anyone with Anitas number please give her a call feel like we cant communicate with no mobile set up as yet..and tell her we miss her.!cheers
I really do like your car…if I didn’t have 4 kids in carseats, I might be tempted to trade my van for it…LoL. Purple looks good on you all.

I think purple is a great colour! Buy a big air freshener that will get rid of the sicky smell. I hope it gets you to LA safely anyway. Will be praying for you.

Well, sounds like you guys are having the time of your lives - we’re not jealous - honest! Glad you’re using the journal Rach, plenty for a new album when you get back
Miss you all loads and loads, the place isn’t the same without you. Keep safe and keep up the good work on reporting on all your adventures - makes for good reading.
Think of you all often.

Hamish you have sold out and followed the american dream and bought a gas guzzler
