maxcelcatOne last shot of the back end of Fuji the Car:
I parked him outside my block of flats, on his last drive, which lasted all of five minutes. I left him outside so a dude with a tow truck could get him easily. When I got back later he was gone, towed to his final resting place.
Is it normal to be this sentimental about a car? I mean, he served me well for eight years, but it is just a car. Ah well.
Note the lack of number plates. Took them back to Vicroads a couple of weeks back, and got a refund on my rego, which was nice.
Ah well. It was about this time of year in 1999 that I was shopping for, and buying, Fuji the car. And he would be 20 years old in February of next year. Not bad given that cars are designed to last for about fifteen years. So if all goes to plan, I'll have Lenny the car for nine years!
