I know its not real but.............
« on: April 12, 2016, 21:24:12 »
Our Pagoda has had minimul running for about the last 12 months - to be more accurate its probably bordering on neglect - car abuse if I`m honest.
Last week end, after an oil and filter change as well as the usual checks we took her away for the weekend - a round trip 300 kms of mostly free way driving with one major long climb.

I know - cars are only inanimate objects - BUT I swear we heard her shout WAHOOO  after sitting on 110kms for a while. Are we  bonkers? Should we consider therapy?

well obviously you are not quite right and probably need professional help.
She would have been shouting JAWOHL as everybody normal would know.
