This was written to the Father and Daughter that have shown intent on having a fun filled adventure with this little car called Lilly
A little fun story about this little car called Lilly
If you have watched Herbie or ever owned one of these little beauties you wil know that they really do have a personalletity all of their own
Well it started with the day that you came to see her for the first time
After replacing the glove box she decided that she would not let anyone look inside her bonnet so she closed up completely
I really had to speak very nicely and explain that she should open up as her new owner was really going to look after her
After giving her a washdown before your visit the driver side door just decided not to work properly
Give her a nice new engine and she brainwashes me
Checked all the electrics as she was backfiring properly
Yesterday got back to having a look and see that I had put the plug leads on the wrong way for # 3 and #4 hence the backfiring
Thru this process she taught me a good lesson in firing order and valve configeration ,points condensors and distributers
After getting her purring like a kitten it was time for our first drive in a while
All good to a mates place to help him move a couch
Parked and pulled up the handbrake and booooing the spring and knob just jump out
She is really trying to tell me something
During the drive home we again have our little talk - don't worry Lilly these are really nice people and you will have a great adventure with Megan
This morning I drive the car up to get some apples for a friend of mine
Park the car and pick the apples
As I get in and am having a little morning moment the little Lilly again gives me a reminder of how special she is
Look at the odometer and its perfectly aligned in 1-2-3-4
Just to remind me about the lesson that she had given me in getting her firing beautifully
Yes you can have fancy and reliable
But Character is something so really special that only comes with time
Have a great day - hope this put a smile on your dials
And yes I am very attached to all my Aircooled wonders
