Yesterday
Well, that's it, folks.
Mum bought the thing new in 1983, and when she died, dad drive it, and when he died a couple of years ago, I have been driving it since.
It's been a challenge at times, but the problems were gradually ironed out, and with a recent fittment of new rings, and a gearbox service two days ago, it was running like a dream.
I had a bed made up in the back (the only seat left was the driver's seat), and just the other week had a mattress custom-made. It was so comfy to sleep in.
The last few years I've done heaps of touring, especially through the Snowy Mtns.
I know we shouldn't get attached to 'things', after all, it is just a car, but still, I could have cried.
The idiot pulled out in front of me, I slammed on the brakes and tried to swerve around, but he slammed into the side, and I was slid into the oncoming lane. Luckily, there was a gap in the traffic, and so I was not hit.
It looks much worse in the flesh. The chassis looks like it's bent.
Many thanks to everyone who has helped me out, and especially a big thank you to tassuperkart.
It was a great ride while it lasted.
