My vehicle is 73 years old
The paintwork is scarred beyond belief
The joints are rusted, don’t work and creak
There are essential bits missing
It’s gone round the clock a few times
Wouldn’t pass an MOT
In the past was driven way too hard
Given the wrong type of fuel
The driver has been a complete idiot
But it’s served well
You have to love it
So many memories
Every bit of wear and tear
Tells a story
Would I trade it in for a new model
Not likely
When this one goes
I’m giving up driving.
