When feeling a little chilly and not 100%. Load favourite wee girl in favourite old girl and drive. Go for a cruise to Evandale Market and then out into the country to see this lovely girl. The warm sun through the untinted windows and the smell of vinyl, still like new, warms the cockles. In 11 years I have never got tired of this simple driving pleasure in 'Harriet' ... and when I hear my wee girl say "I love Harriet" I know she understands too ...

Blogtoberfest Day 13: to cruise is sublime
When feeling a little chilly and not 100%. Load favourite wee girl in favourite old girl and drive. Go for a cruise to Evandale Market and then out into the country to see this lovely girl. The warm sun through the untinted windows and the smell of vinyl, still like new, warms the cockles. In 11 years I have never got tired of this simple driving pleasure in 'Harriet' ... and when I hear my wee girl say "I love Harriet" I know she understands too ...

How nice the weather was last week!I love your car, we had a Holden growing up, I remember the purple vinyl sticking to my legs in the hot weather...Want to catch up soon?
Love those big old cars - feel like you're really driving and it seems your little one totally understands too!
Yes, the smell of my old car, a 1961 Hillman Minx with red leather bench seats. Our family had a yellow one and mine was faded bluey aqua. Good cars and good times. None of my cars have ever had a name though. Don't know why that is.
A truly great car!
Sounds perfect ....
Oh what a beautiful old girl. Our old girl (69 Valiant Regal) had a crash last year and we had to say goodbye. We're still devastated.
Harriets' still looking pretty saucy!
I can quite understand your affection ....a lovely steering wheel . Vintage wins again .
What a great car! Very cool.
That's so cool.
ooh Harriet sounds lovely...ej? eh? what colour?
Ah Michelle - she is a HD - apparently the Holden Disaster ... but not round these parts!
Wootwoo for the old holdens. It looks like a well loved one. Cherrie
Missing you in the blog world. Hope all is OK. Cherrie
