    Well that may be a better decison as the DDR ceased to exist in 1991 :D - and thereby hangs a tale of why I have a 1990 DDR built truck that has only done 500km none of them on UK roads ...

    Jason came along with me today - a journey involving driving round 20 stations, meeting the guys at a big military surplus warehouse, dead iPhones, terror rides in a Citroen BX, a new addition to the car pool and a 25 minute call to the AA. And I am still coughing and spluttering due to man flu...

    Solar recharge time

    When my solars are off the wrist they live close to a west facing window. Even through the gloomy short days of winter they have kept charged quite happily.
