Dearest Doris, May She Rest In Peace

The flat car (otherwise known as Doris) has officially died.

She led a good life, she took us where we wanted to go, and took her time doing so, and always made a fuss when there were too many passengers and we were going up a hill.

She was reliable, even though the window-windy-down-things were nowhere to be seen, except for one, which was passed around the car whenever we wanted to wind up/down a window, and the front locks didn't work properly and unlocking her involved opening the boot, climbing thru and unlocking her from there.

She was involved in a crash today, while trustingly carrying home the band gear from church, as well as the groceries. Not knowing that today would be her last day.

Even though she was old, unregistered and not so pretty, she will stay alive in our hearts, not quite forever.
