My Car
 |
You know it's easy to be prejudiced when it comes to motorised transport. My dear darling is now a lady approaching a mere 14 years of age. Yes darling Panda is a sprightly young thing though, as teenagers are so often prone, can be very reluctant to rise in the morning and takes a great deal of coaxing. However, one cannot complain after all who really wants to go out when the temperature is struggling to even approach zero. |
So, "what the hell is he talking about" may be what you are thinking and you are entitled to. The answer I'm sorry to say is I truly have no idea. I am simply filling in the day and contributing my little bit to the trash that is cluttering the internet. Although wait, what I'm saying is important my car is derided and sneered at and nasty volvo's pull out in front of me. This is me singing the praises of a well used car who kicks the pants off a number of her infant challengers. Whilst I do suffer a pang of concience when I step through the door each morning. I long for the day I can use a local Light Rail service in Warickshire offereing a frequet service. People seem to forget it is not the time of journey that matters, we can plan around time and people sit in traffic jams long enough to make it clear that traffic doesn't matter to people whilst it's always broadly the same trffic. No, it is the frequency, reliability and ease of use that will make communal transport successful.
But back to my darling, there may be rust around the doors, the suspension may be in danger of ceasing up and the radio might be a fire hazard but the engine ticks and the brakes work in a flintstones kind of a manner. I am able to get into work in the morning, depite the best efforts of the evil 'Range Rover Mommas' and their poodle side kicks as they deposited their spawn at the local nose pokers.
So all hail the fiat panda 1989, it's a beauty made of steel. for anyone who knows, I am aware that the car in the picture is not a 1989 panda and does not have rust around the doors. This is because I really can't be fucked going out and taking a photo of my car getting it processed and scanning it in to my machine
