Er...are you sure it's the van that's stupid? Who bought it?

LOL, Pete.

PS. I used to have an MGB GT. It had a flat battery one morning and could I find it? Not exactly a big car, so not really anywhere to hide, eh? Tried under the bonnet (US = hood), in the boot (trunk), everywhere - could I bloody find it? (didn't have an owner's manual at the time). There was nowhere I hadn't looked that was big enough to house a 12 volt battery. Had to phone a mate of mine who revealed all - there were two tiny 6 volt batteries (in series) underneath the miniscule rear "seat". In all, took me over an hour to get the car started, with only the last 5 minutes being spent not locating the batteries!

PPS. And yes, jOhn, it was me who bought it!!! Ho, ho ho.
