No More Bad Days At Work Thanks to Matilda !

[matilda]

10 Days into ownership and a c**p day at work....suddenly the 40 minute drive home...
mix of A/B/ Dual carriageway becomes a joy....Matilda (cos she's Aus) parts the Traffic ...just like Moses Did to the Red Sea( I think ) and Home comes much too soon !

Sun was shining and my day was transformed....Thank you Vauxhall (Holden) !

Again thanks to Greens ...Who can fix Monaros over the Phone (Geoff)!! ...Correct Diagnosis !......Loose Battery Straps Caused all sorts of Mayhem ! Friendly Face at Fiat Dealer With Meters put all to Rights .....in exchange for blast up road !

Anyone who hasn't got one.......GET ONE !

You named your car and therefore must never post again.

[decromin]

nope - someone who can spell "loose" correctly is always welcome IMHO

Heh - I had the old loose battery connections gremlins hit me once too annoying bugger to figure out too!

[willisit]

That just makes me envious. My Monaro hasn't moved in months - I'm all Citroen C1'd up right now

[mackie1]

I think I'll call mine Oliver Reed :P

[splatspeed]

[splatspeed]

shouldn't she be sheila

[GTS 029]

I think mine must be posh and have a double barrelled name because according to most people out on the road it is known as Whatthu kinnell-wasthat

Sounds sort of African

Mine was called "Whale Oil Beef Hooked"

took me a min or two but if spoken out loud with a combination of an Irish and a Somerset accent it made more sense

[hsv_rulz]

How about "Norfolk 'n Chance"

[stigmundfreud]

I call mine Bertha and have written a song for her... ahem...


Bertha, lovely Bertha,
you are a lovely machine
And anyone who drives you will know just what I mean

Bertha lovely Bertha,
sometimes I think your a dream
When we work out what you have to do
You can always turn the goods out
Always turn the goods out
I can depend upon you

Clicking in the day
flashing in the night
Your headers are shining brightly
Some people say you have a mind of your own
And I think that's very likely, likely

Bertha lovely Bertha
sometimes I think your a dream
When we work out what you have to do
You can always turn the goods out
Always turn the goods out
we can depend upon you.



So good in fact that the BBC retro engineer my song into an 80s classic

I've got a red 'ro and the resemblance is there I just need the big nascar style spoiler and eyes on the windscreen :P

[stigmundfreud]

yes, as tenuous links go, the same colour is a good one
