Good-bye, little green.

It was going to be a hard morning, so I started it off with some extra awesome fuel.

So, little green, it has been great building you, knowing you, and working on your quirks together. Now it's time to make way for some more important things.

How about a little retrospective? Remember your crappy old motor and your transmission which blew up 3 weeks after I bought you? That was awesome.



Remember the wonderful sound of the straight cut gearbox DSG installed after that incident, and how you pulled me slowly around the track, and even more slowly up the hills?







Remember how I gave you a heart transplant and made you the bionic green car?







Good stuff. Your new heart beats strong, and we've had a lot of good times together.





Off to a better place! You will enjoy California, I know it.

So anyway, this morning a huge truck came to load little green up.

And up she went!

Here's video because I'm sappy.



An then the green monster was on a truck.

And then, they drove away.

Good bye. I will miss you hugely.

Three cheers for the venerable car 47!

Oh I'm so sorry, Adam. I know you'r going to miss your first baby. But California is PSYCHED to be on the receiving end. Someone's heart is going to skip a beat when that truck pulls up out here -- and you better bet we'll be keeping an eagle eye out on the freeways for your car! :-)

Damn, I'm weeping, and I've only seen that little green machine once. Phew. Nice retrospective. Good thing you've got a lot you can be prospective about.

The Captcha wanted me to type the word "ingebag." Sometimes I think they make those things subliminally lewd on purpose.

Car 47, wishing you well as you move on to your new home. I remember when you were just a wee one.
