…okay, NOW it’s dead.
October 3rd 2008 -
Yes, the faithful speed racer, a.k.a. Derek, is dead. I was driving it home last night and the engine started to overheat. When I (slowly) got it to the mechanic this morning, they discovered the coolant pump had failed at some point (probably because of the plugs problem earlier) and the engine had fried.
My extreme reluctance to spend any more money on this thing combined with the fact that repair would mean taking the engine out, means that I’ve called it: the car is kaput.

it should be a stylish marriage but they can’t afford a carriage.. and they’d look sweet upon the seat..
