Contraction Pains!

Escaping with a good book and a glass of wine after a day of 'snowboarding' down the sand dunes with the red african sun setting behind our roof top tent seems a long way off! We are still full-on and have spent the last week or more investigating every lead we have for a petrol/diesel, landcruiser/landrover and maybe a trailer (or not)! Every item compared for its pros and cons. Our contacts are beginning to overlap so we know that we are beginning to saturate the Cape Town 4x4 market.  Every trip, the kids rattle around in the back - until neither they nor we can take anymore - and then we split off for a day, giving Ajay a bit more freedom. Asher's been helpful in accompanying Ajay though. It's a bit like birthing a baby - trying to get this car. Even when it comes through, it will need tlc and time to get to know it! Ajay wants to change all the bits, so that we have spare parts at hand. AA are just doing a 3 hour check at this moment, before we buy it. (The mechanic wanted to talk to Ajay 'in person'.) So I'm not even sure if the sale will be aborted and we'll have to start again looking for another! Now I know why cars get given names - any ideas?!!!
