RIP Wigglet

So last night driving home Wigglet decided that we were to go no further together, he lost power, briefly splattered to life for 50m cut out again, 700m from my exit on the freeway, then i saw the flames coming out of side of the car, i thought "right, time to get out"

I called the fire brigade and Bron fro a lift home and the death of Wigglet took place for 3 lanes of block traffic, one fire engine, 2 police cars and 2 RTA tow trucks to see.


The fire starts

So here ends my beautiful car, 8 years of faithful service, from Easter 2000 in Balmain to a firey end on the Gore Hill freeway last night - How i will miss you Wigglet.

RIP poor wiglet!

Shall I cut a hole in the floor of your new car (whatever it may be) to make you feel more at home?

Ah wiggie, dust to dust, car to ashes.

New Car??? Oh can you move on so quickly. I think a 6 month carless morning period is in order.
