    I was working on theory that Shane had gone to Spain on a lads holiday and got so drunk that he became separated from is travel companions and Ana found Shane slumped on the ground in a drunken state.
    I assume that when Shane started to sober up Ana tried to communicate with Shane in both Spanish & English but Ana couldn’t understand what Shane was trying to say! So being concerned that Shane may have had a Stroke she took him to the local hospital where an Irish Nurse explained Shane was a Irish lad hence the difficulty in communicating with him as he has such a strong Irish accent.
    When Shane first saw Ana he thought she was an Angel and he had died and gone to heaven.
    And this is my theory on how Shane & Ana met 😂
    Love your videos guys.
    I also have a 83 T25 1.9 waterbox which is very heavy on fuel so keep that in mind when choosing a engine.
    Hope you enjoyed my theory thanks 🙏 Kevin

    I have only just discovered your challenge and binge watching your videos. You guys rock ...you are so honest and do your best to stay positive in your vanlife adventures. You cone across as really genuine people and honest. I have owned 2 T3/25s in the past so can appreciate the joy and paid at the same time. We are older now and have a 2020 Sprinter which broke down on us before Christmas. Unlike Fergus there is no way we can repair it as it is all computerised and needs Mercedes software to fix. Enjoy Fergus for as long as you can!

I just bought a 1980 high top with a 1.6 aircooled engine so you may have some competition as who is slower. Lol. The van came to Canada from someone that brought it over from France to tour Canada from coast to coast and then sold it here. So there is a option for a trip with your van.

You sound as full of craic as us Ana, You are young ,enjoy life and travelling . From one who's 80 and still loves road trips, don't be afraid to drive down boreens and cul-de-sacks it's usually where you find the best places.

    I knew Ane was Hispanic when I heard her pronounce Spanish place names - it is very rare for a native English speaker to be able to pronounce them correctly. I guess she was young enough at 15 to acquire an Irish accent. As a Brit who went to live in Mexico when I was 23, if I try then I can put on a Mexican accent when speaking Spanish well enough to fool the locals into believing that I am Mexican, but it's not natural for me. There's definitely a cut-off age for acquiring accents.
