Wife, nursery school teacher, basically self supporting and self financing (if you can keep her away from the jewellery channels and QVC), unwanted gift 26 years ago, 48 years on the clock, fair wear and tear, a few knocks, grazes and wrinkles on the bodywork, never raced or rallied, offered for swap for anything interesting that will give me less hassle., eg, aquarium complete with fish, tortoise (preferably already hibernating) or a decent combo DVD/TV with a freeview box and remote.
OK to look at initially, but her faults soon get irritating. Reasonable at ironing, cooking is mundane and if you can get anything else out of her, just beware, she must be after something, probably sparkly or shiney.
Not a bad starter in the morning, just a bit of full choke (both hands) and a few hefty prods with your right boot and she splutters into life and waddles off to her duties.
Very stable in high winds, especially as the years pile on and the centre of gravity gets lower. A natural shelter, a family of 4, complete with 2 dogs, can picnic comfortably in her shadow.
Excellent speed limiting device. At a few mph above the limit, a low moaning noise starts and with increasing speed, this develops into a constant whine, eventually turning into a constant tirade about death by horses coming through windscreens, drowning upside down in ditches, etc.
New owner to collect or at a push I'll give the bitch her bus-fare as far as Belfast City Hall.
No 'try before you buy' or refunds.
