The Chief Has Arrived

Well, late this afternoon, after a couple of hiccups, Dougwe arrived at his "reserved" spot at Greens Lake!!

The new van looks great, he said it towed very well.  We are going for a grand tour tomorrow, after he has sorted some things out!!!

Shut the front gate!

After a yet another small delay this morning and a few upset blokes working on the Chief as I arrived at the factory I had a very polite chat with them and reminded then that I should be the one upset as they were the ones that messed up. All good then with appologies all round.

I finally hooked up and was on way at 2.30pm heading for Greens. As Jules said the Chief performed exstemely well and and no sway while sitting rather level I might add, very happy with all that.

Didn't take long to level up once I arrived and for some reason I found a coldy in the fridge. Funny how that was in there so I had to drink that while chatting away at happy hour.

Had to laugh though as on my arrival in big words attached to the back of one of the big bins was "Welcome Chief" and then I noticed my favourite spot was vacant so headed there and sitting on the ground was a box saying "Reserved For Chief". How good was that hey. I was getting some funny looks for sure. People even came up that I didn't even know and said "so you finally made it". There are some really nice people around for sure.

Now I just have to find where I have stashed everything and put it away. I'm sure things will get changed around though.

Of all the days to be missing at happy hour today was the day so I knew nothing of the inspection due for tomorrow.

So after my own quiet evening watching Mrs Mrs Brown's Boys De Movie I went over to the Chief and apparently was the first to see inside the Chief Arrow.

All I can say is WOW everything looked perfect down to the special colour scheme Doug had ordered, all the improvements from the original plan enhanced the utility and livability of the van.

Congratulations Doug you have done well and we all will be eagerly awaiting the inside pics,

John
