You all know how much I have loved the $50 car. We've spent hours on the highway between Canberra and Forster. Just me and the car, nothing but the sound of the engine to break the silence. Some people said get a radio, but I said NO! RUIN THIS DASH?? When the paramedics had to get Bruce out of the front seat and they threatened to cut the roof off, I told them it was a pity the crash was fatal, but there was no way they were touching the $50 car!
On those really hot days leaving sunny Western Sydney, I'd wind all the windows down for the hot refreshing breeze to waft through. Plays havoc with your hair, but it is a small price to pay for living in the moment.
SURE you can't see out the driver's window, SURE one of the windows no longer winds down, SURE one of the doors doesn't open (unless it is Pan in which case it opens every time, I still have no explanation for that), SURE the central locking goes on and off fairly randomly, SURE it is a bit squishy when I have Bruce in the pillion seat.... but it has a GREAT gearbox and it has served me well.
If only it could pull a trailer. With one bike, we have a top speed of 100km/hr downhill, as low as 55kms/hr uphill. Two bikes, I'm screwed. Even the grey nomads look at me with pity as they roar past at 80kms/hr, damnable hoons. If it could pull a trailer, I would never let it go.
Here are some memories.......
