Now that I can drive, I have started my own business, “Samuels Breakdown Service”.  Here you can see me helping my dad with the recovery of his VW T4 Transporter called “Daniel”.

My Dad has been restoring this van for some time, and when he recently drove it into the unit to put it away, the gearbox selector linkage broke, which Dad says is a common fault on these old T4’s.  The only gear that could be selected was 3rd, meaning it couldn’t engage reverse and back itself out of the unit it is stored in.

Dad says, since the part to fix it has arrived, we need to reverse it out of the unit, for Dad to sweep the floor to be able to get underneath and fix it.  Here I am providing reverse gear in the tow car.  I have it on the towing strop with “Oskar” the Octavia Scout in reverse, but my Dad controlling the speed using the brakes on “Daniel”.

Wait until I present my “recovery bill” to my Dad.  This will be the grin I will have on my face when I can buy another game for my Nintendo Switch…
