Stück Scheße has finally left the roads forever and gone to metal heaven. I kept telling it I only needed a few more weeks and this time I meant it, only 5 more weeks and it could die, but alas it has carked it... BUT it did go out in flames and given me a story to tell. Was just driving back to Boundary Bend for work at the Olive factory when suddenly there was a clack click bang an something went flying out the back, then smoke started coming from the engine... Well I though I better pull over, which I didn't have much choice in in the end as the engine stopped all together, after looking under the bonet (because if know what to do to fix it) I saw FIRE!!!! Well there were a few flames that I put out with a drink bottle, though just enough to fry the engine and kill more Azar.
The drover hearing his castle came to the rescue while I was waiting for NRMA and flagged down a truck for me going my direction. After a very comfortable truck ride with caret carter Paul I was at work only 1.5 hours late and dropped straight off at the car park. He even helped me unpack the back of te empty B Diouble trailer of my groceries and washing. Thanks Paul. 
And that's how I now have to car for the next 5 weeks. The Beast has lasted 6 years and has practically been a free car after being written off and payed out, so I can't complain.
Farewell Stück Scheiße, Azar, The Beast you've served me well...

End of an era all right! Was it like Back to the Future III when the time machine spurts something from the back in a cloud of smoke?
A blog from Kez, you must be bored!
Yes - that car has done you well. And I must apologise for tempting fate by saying THAT MORNING as you headed off "the car is still hanging in there!" and I DIDN'T TOUCH WOOD! So sorry!
