Betsie (or Ferrari Felicia) was a special car, she would do 0- 60 in 10 minutes, but she got you from A to B. She had her own personality, I'd have to push start her on my own a lot of mornings, sometimes in heels and a skirt, the odd time all her electrics would just fail going 120 on the motorway, sometimes she would just fire perfectly on a -5 morning. Water would get through her somehow, we could never figure out where, and you'd have a little puddle in the footwell to wake up to in the morning... Derek's Mum had her for 10 years from new, then Derek for 2 years, then it was my first car for 6 months... we all learned to drive in her, passed our tests in her (tester asked me if I wanted to take a break after doing a turnabout in her)
Despite all this we still loved Betsie and had many's a good memory in her. She's been sitting out the back since I got knightrider and none of us have had the heart to bring her to the scrapyard. She left us recently, and we all cried (ffs like, over
a car!!!)
BUT!! The good news is - she's going to be a rally car!!! Our Betsie!!
So here's to Betsie R.I.R. -> Rest In Reincarnation!!
So have you any cars that still leave a twinge in your heart...?
