RIP Green Pea ...
Poor little Green Pea has finally bitten the dust and now sits bleeding in the carport.
Yes she was very old & very green.
Yes we all held our breath every year when she went in for her Warrant of Fitness inspection.
Yes I could probably have travelled several times to Australia with all the money I've forked out to keep her (and himself) on the road.
But she had style.
When other ladies of her age sat at home with their knitting, she got up to no good.
She raced in the drags at Meremere.
She cruised Queen Street.
She partied more than she should.
She took more corners at high speed than is good for a lady.
She pretended to be a nice girl sometimes and took grannies & mothers shopping.
She turned up to collect the granny from hospital appointments with sound system blaring & exhaust revving - she liked to let the hospital staff know that "her" granny was no old lady either.
She was a good car.
Goodbye Green Pea.
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WHOO HOO! What a ride!"

sweet green pea certainly sounds like she screeched in sideways, partying all the way to her sad demise. Sorry she had to go but glad she went out in style.
