Dear Ben, (co-owner)
So, there's no easy way to tell you this..
....but she didn't pull through. We did everything we could. Death was pronounced at approximately 11.20am. The doctors were working on her from approximately 11.15am. She passed quickly. In fact, truth is she was probably already dead. DOA.
She was too old really to donate any of her organs, her body was simply falling apart by the end. She had deteriorated a lot since we last saw her. The tears are still fresh in my eyes. Thankfully there are some undertakers who will do the funeral for free. I guess I'm writing for your permission as co-owner (as of approximately 10.15am) to finally lay her to rest.
On the plus side I did take the time, energy and finance (approximately NZ$ 9) to get her registered in our names. So now at least we OWN the piece of crap.
I'm sorry I shouldn't talk about her that way. I think the emotion is getting to me. I'm assured though by the memories we will always have of her. At least those will never rust and be taken away for scrap.
Love conor.

The van was a 1983 Nissan Vanette. It had fifteen owners and "Shine on you crazy diamond" written on the side. We planned to use it upon our return to New Zealand i.e. now. Apparently leaving it out in the rain for 9mths was not a good idea. It rusted. Consequently it did not pass the NZ equivalent of an MOT, the WOF. Warrent of Fittness. This entry was a copy of the email i sent to my friend Ben, a co-owner of the van along with James, Anna, Lucia and myself. Don't worry he didn't understand it either.
Don't worry Conor - I understand compleetly.
Ma.xx
P.S. I have been told there is a lot of rain in NZ, infact, someone said the green (as in grass upon fields of it) got a bit boring after a while. Although this opinon was formed viewing the grass through a coach window -possibly not the best way to experience NZ.
