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
Thank you Kevin!! This is honestly the best comment we have ever received 🥳🥳🤣🤣
Not quite how we met but nonetheless a good story haha
That's the best about the 1.6... very easy on diesel 😁😁
Only watching this video now. Absolutely priceless. Thanks for the honesty, the humour and the story-telling. You guys are a class act. As a subscriber from Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland, Ill be looking out for you both on your travels, should you decide to venture up to my neck of the woods. Take care for now and drive safely.
@davidlutton4560 Thanks, David!! Keep an eye out surely were only down the road anyway 😊😊
Ane…by far the best accent on TH-cam…love it…
OMG Thank you so much!! Makes me more confident when I read comments like this ❤️ I'm always self conscious about my accent 😂🙈
@ShaneandAneVanLife I think most english speakers love the Spanish accent. My partner is also Spanish (I'm American) and his accent is one of my favorite things. 😊
It was meant to be , if you decide to travel more of Ireland check out west cork .
We visited West cork a while ago. We'll be back very soon 😊😊
No way I went off to soon as a man of a certain age I have to say “Shane ffs your well punching”
But you so look good and work we all all over this
“love it”
Katie & Gary
🤣🤣 thank you guys
Ya both won the lotto!! Great video
Brilliant story how you lovely folks met
Thank you so much Richard!! Might see you on the road again 😋😎
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.
❤ You guys are meant to be with each other. ❤ looking forward to 2024!
Thank you so much 🤗❤️
Every breakdown equals preventive maintenance for the future, lol. Really enjoy your interactions as a couple, you can tell you enjoy each others company! Looking forward too what's next for you both.
Thank you so much Tim 🤗🤗 the more fixes the less break downs in theory 🤣
I would never have guessed Annie that you’re from Spain your Irish accent is so strong , great story guys if you come to England I might see you in my t25 keep them coming great watch 👌
I know her Irish accent is strong 🙈🤣 after 10 years of being in Ireland 🤣🤣
We plan to come to England early next year 🤗🤗
Not many Spanish people spreak English, let alone as good as Ane! At first I was suprised she is Spanish, but with a closer look I'am not. Shane may feel very lucky for knowing such a nice looking girl with such a stunning smile!
Awwww. What a lovely story of how ye met. I would have guessed ye met through work. Cute photos too x
Thank you Denise!! Ohh no we go way back before work 🤣🤣🤣 only babies when we met haha 🤣🤣🤣
Come to Switzerland. You pay a €40 vignette at the border and after that, zero tolls. Tonnes of amazing places to see here. Would love to meet if ye do make it over
Switzerland would be amazing!! We have friends in Zermatt, will definitely visit soon. We will definitely comment here to let you know when we go 🤗❤️
How long does the Vignette last for?
@@ShaneandAneVanLife a new vignette comes out every January. So they're valid for each calendar year. You need a new one each January.
Love you guys F it just loving your outlook
Gary & Katie (So Old)
🤟
🤗🤗🤗 Thank you ❤️
I wouldn't blame Annie for the trepidation between trips. I'm well able to fix my van and I'm the same. Once I'm on the ferry I dont want to come back and the vans just get better and better as you use them
Yes it's a horrible feeling but when your on the road it's the best feeling ever! Have you any more trips planned?
@ShaneandAneVanLife Having to postpone plans this year. Maybe a quick trip to France in June but have a project in the pipeline and the target with that is Morocco/Western Sahara but that's a bit away. If you guys make it to West Cork this winter get in touch and I can round up a few different engined vans for you to compare.
Ohh absolutely we will definitely be hitting West Cork. My Aunty lives not far from Newcestown and we will pay them a visit probably around end of January. Are you far from that area ?
@ShaneandAneVanLife I'm about 20 minutes from there. Gimme a heads up when your around and I'll send ya my eircode
What a beautiful story guys.
You two make some wonderful videos together.
Keep travelling your growing with your number’s
Thank you Stephen!! Thanks for the support 🤗🤗✌️
great video guys
cannot beat the old VW i have 1985 golf . you could have a two year old van and you would still get breakdowns, with the amount of sensors on them
keep up the great videos guys
Thank you!! ❤️❤️
That's true! It's horrible to see but when we were travelling round we passed several fish vans broken down on the road. And the new vans aren't as easy fixed haha.
The old Volkswagens are the best 🤗✅️
Great video! It was so great to meet you guys and hope to see you again in 2024. Ane loves to tempt fate - never risk saying Fergus won’t break down!! 😂 We are doing Morocco, probably Scandinavia and late in the year I think we will head to Albania, Macedonia, Greece and Turkey if you fancy joining us at any time? 🤞🏻
Thanks guys!! That's true never ever ever say Fergus won't breakdown because that's a given fact 🤣🤣
If plans align definitely meet up along the way :))
Great video again, really enjoyed it. Brilliant guys……. Live life and look after one another xx xx
Thanks Roly!! Thanks for all the support 🤗❤️
Hi, really love your videos, Mohotel recently did Croatia, and Travelling Cooke Book are in Estonian, looks nice
Hey 👋❤️ thanks so much 🤗
Must give them a watch :))
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!
Thank you so so much Tim!! Those words mean a lot to us 😊❤️
Owning a T25 is full of happiness and sadness 🤣🤣 the good thing as you say is they're very easy fixed🤣🤣
Hope you got your van fixed OK and it wasn't anything major🙈
Happy new year and we hope you enjoy our videos in 2024 ❤️❤️
We both just watched this vlog, you are on our weekly viewing now 😊 Keep up the great vlogs guys!
Thank you guys 😄❤️
You always put out great videos ❤❤
Thank you 🤗❤️
hello fun to see you just live your life on the road,must be a dream🙂 will you show up in norway? greetings from norway🙂
Thanks for watching 😊😊
You never know!! Fergus might make it to Norway 😊😊
What a wonderful story how you guys met. It was fate, just meant to be ❤. You make a lovely couple, and I love watching you. Looking forward to your winter adventures. 👍🐸
Thank you so much! Hopefully we get a good few adventures in. The weather has been terrible 🙈
I love you guys 😊 i loved the video and thanks for answering all my questions. Now I have a bunch of other questions, but i think it’ll be better to meet up somwhere on the road 🙃
Thanks for all your questions!! Keep them coming :) we might do a part 2 if people like the video :) ❤️🤗
I've seen all the videos of Kombi Life and TravelBeans, now you are my favourites to follow!
This is the biggest compliment ever because those are the guys that inspire us!! Thank you 😊😊
How did you find our channel?
What do you mean it takes so long to get to the nicest parts of Ireland. Monaghan IS the nice part of Ireland. 😊 I discovered this channel recently and its now my absolute favorite. Keep up the great work!
Depends on what part of Monagahn you visit 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for watching 😁😁😁
This would be a fun motor swap.
My van has a 7.3 gas motor.
450 horsepower around 500 foot pounds of torque,
Plenty of power.
It would move your Volkswagen down the road pretty quickly 😉
That is the motor I need!! If my little 1.6 Diesel with about 30 Horsepower even spots a hill in the distance it's beginning to slow down 🤣🤣
That motor was launch me off the other side 🤣🤣🤣
Great video guys and your honesty of how you met was great! You definitely deserve a netflix deal if one comes along! Hope to come across you if you explore England in 2024!
Thank you Tim!! We wonder who we could get to play us on the series haha
We should be in the UK soon. What part are you from?
Definitely one in 1 million chance great story.
Hopefully our paths will cross sometime on the road maybe even the west of Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you 🤗❤️ yes for sure we will post when we are heading west and can organise something 🤗🤗
What a heart warming video. Good luck on your future travels/adventures.
Thank you Martyn 🤗🤗❤️
Great Q&A, Ane's English is excellent, I'm English with an Irish passport and live in France! Our T25 is called Claude, 1989 1.9 petrol. Hopefully will travel the Irish west coast sometime soon.
Thanks Steve 🤗 Her English is better than mine 🙈🤣
When you come to Ireland Claude and Fergus have to meet up 😉✌️
@@ShaneandAneVanLife that would be fantastic. Take care and happy Christmas.
We were also wondering how you two met! What a great story 😊 We also have a similar story, what a coincidence!
Oh wow that's so cool!! Where did you guys meet?
U should watch from rust to road trip in wat they put there old ldv through was amazing were they went in that old lady
Thanks for the recommendation!! Will definitely give them a watch 🤗👀
thanks for the answers, great video and story, you too are doing it - amazing! Subbed for more :)
Thank you! Subbed to your channel also :) hopefully visit Scotland soon
Honoured, thanks guys. Looking forward to seeing your vlog's 👍@@ShaneandAneVanLife
What a wonderful story about how you meet, and you were meant for each other, I hope you have a Happy life together, Will you be travelling back to Spain 🇪🇸 in 2024, I hopefully will be in Torrevieja, Heading over January 2nd, and taking a few trips from your voyage on the Salamanca
Happy Christmas to you both
Thank you so much Phil! Crazy how everything lined up for us haha. Yes if everything goes well we would love to be back in Spain just before summer.
Enjoy Spain its the absolute best!!🇪🇸😍
Happy Christmas to you too 🎄🤗
Great video guys I've a nice picture of Fergus and Cecil that day but can't load it in the comments here all the best
That was the first time we got noticed from TH-cam!! Will never forget it 🤗🤗
Ahhh I had forgotten I had posted a question about the size of Fergus or changing! My van is probably close in size and I get twitchy after a few days! I don’t have a Shane to do the mechanicals but I give everything a good go! Keep on rocking and I look forward to your 24 trips. Now I need to decide where to go next summer.
Thanks for your Question!! What size of van have you got? Where would you like to travel in the summer?
I have a L1H1 Citroen relay. I’ve done France for the past two years with my dog and now I’ve added a pup so I’m thinking of the sw300 in West Scotland…. I think the heat of Spain might be too much for the mutts
What a class video some selection of events 🤣🤣I’m sure Ileen and Peter was well happy to have a lovely lady like yourself to enter there lives am pretty sure doe you don’t miss Peters whistling he’s like a buggie 🤣🤣class stuff folks keep up the good work
What were the odds of us meeting? 😂😂 thanks for watching! 😊
Excellent. Thank you for sharing.
Really enjoy your channel.
Thank you so much for watching 🤗❤️
My first time watching and I thought, he sounds a bit Donegalish ,she sounds Irish but from where ?,when you said Spain I thought yes of course the, colouring, but the accent ?.a good story, love stories are always good to, hear and that was an unusual one. 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'm just back from a road trip to the Italian Dolomites with my son ,it was fantastic but I don't think that your 1.6 VW would be capable of the climbs. Good Luck.
Not to far away. Probably just over an hour from Donegal on the Border :)
Ane is Spanish but has been here for 11 years now so has picked up the accent.
Thanks for watching :))
I have just subscribed and hoping to learn from you problems with your van. I have only watched a few of your video's but really enjoy them. 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.
Hey Bill Thank you so much for subscribing to the channel!! Really glad to have you following our adventure and love that your enjoying the video :)
We will have to have a race to see who is the slowest haha.
Cool piece of history about your van coming from France to Canada.
Would only love to take our van over to Canada! that would be a dream
Love the accent Ane
A great mixture of accents haha thank you 🤗🤗
Two young people. Making new memories. Do you have a cold or do you have a nose problem because it sounds like you can't breath through your nose.✌️❤️
Thank you :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes both... a cold and I can never breath through my nose 🙄🙄🤣
@@ShaneandAneVanLifeAs my Spanish teacher once told the class “ I am constipated and I have problems with my bowels”. Estoy constipada y tengo problemas con las vocales.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I think that every Spanish person has made that funny and embarrassing mistake 🤣 your poor teacher only had a cold 🤧
Hi Shan hi honey enjoyed your video very much, and IM glad to be able to get to North pool. Nice people a torch around the world for eleven okay, check you and a very happy christmas and a prosperous new year to bought his
😁😁
When Netflix make your story which actors will play you both?
Ohh that's a tricky one. Maria Pedraza or Ana de armas would play Ane and Barry keoghan could play me 🤣🤣 I could make my acting debut either and play myself haha
Are they really that good on diesel, how many miles are you getting to the gallon? Also... what type of high top roof did you get?
I never worked out the mpg I know I put 40euro in it an drove from Pyrenees up North which was exactly 400km and we still had another 1/4 on he clock which we could easy get another another 80km... it's very easy on diesel
Great video! Annie - where are you from? what part of Spain?
Thank you 🤗 I'm from the North of Spain 🇪🇸
