The time has come - I've listed my beloved car for sale. She's been amazing fun, but I just can't justify it anymore. Yes, I'll cry when she goes. Of course, I adore my new car, but it's a bit of a brat while my old car was a beast.
Tell me about your favourite cars? What did you love about them? Have you still got them? Or a a favourite car related story?!
My old 1972 VW Kombivan. Still miss him. Partner on many an adventure.
Oh, what colour?! That's so cool!
White and red. Yes, he did have curtains on the side windows. No power steering and manual shift. Was a real arm and leg workout to drive. But beautifully balanced and could handle the roughest of dirt roads. Never had a stack or a problem with his innards either.
Fabulous!! Did he have a name?!
ahem, cough cough, Herbert. Well, he was a VW. Just a bit more formal ....
