The Chariot

In the ferry queue en route to Vancouver
So here we are in Vancouver in our new motor. She's a 2000 model Jeep Cherokee with 250,000 kms on the clock (making her the youngest and least travelled vehicle in the Le B stable!) and she's gonna take us all the way to Alaska and, we hope, back again! She has a very modest-sized 4.7 litre V8 engine, which sips fuel in the gentlest and most ladylike of manners and was (I kid you not) the smallest engine we could find at any of the half dozen used car lots we visited in Seattle last week. She doesn't have a name yet, but that will come. Today we have a day's sightseeing in town, and then tomorrow we head north…….
