Looks like I’ll be getting the use of a car beginning sometime next week. It will be far from new, about 17 years old I am told and recently in a fairly serious accident. The Spiritans, my missionary organization, have agreed to lend me the Toyota Land Cruiser till my own vehicle is granted and arrives from Japan. I will have to find the funds for the repairs. My own vehicle, after it is granted by the funding agency in Germany, will probably take till the end of the year to arrive. Having the “lender” car will make the difference between getting out and doing the work and waiting around day-to-day to use a car normally needed at Ngorongoro mission.
Note: The thumbnail shows the kind of car not the actual car I’m getting.

Looks like a nice truck actually.
Yes, it will be just fine. I am told that it is basically a good car and the problems are only with the body. Some panel beating is all it needs to be put right.
Sounds pretty ideal Ned.
Good news. All is working out for you. Check out the pictures Warren posted yesterday. Sun rise on the bay.
Nice to read your blog
