Then there was Harry. Yep, a Japanese boring Honda CRV. Destined for the scrap yard the day it was made. Sorry all Harry's out there.
Oh and Maria. I love her, she has strength and hairy armpits, and she is Italian. The car was a very old and unbreakable Alfa Alfetta that travelled 7,000 km (4,000 miles) across Australia on 3 cylinders with no complaints. |
Now that's what I'm talkin bout. Especially the part about maria with hairy armpits. That's how cars get the names that stick. I had a Peugoet 504 Diesel. Bought it brand new. I could go on and on about it's virtues but I drove that thing to death. It was affectionally known as POO-GEE.
