Today we bid farewell to Gussie the 1967 Hillman Gazelle, who has been Kathy's pride, joy, and bank-balance emptier for the past three years. We got up *hideously* early on a cold, foggy Saturday and topped her up with BP Ultimate for the last time ....
After 39 years, Gussie had to lose her original black and white Victorian number plates as she's moving to NSW. (My George V-inspired winter beard's coming along nicely ...)
The ghostly imprint of JSC-917 will be there forever!
Meet the Copes of Newcastle, Gussie's new custodians. Bruce (the beardy bloke who isn't me) already has a Sunbeam Rapier and an MGA, and they've been brave enough to own Citroen DSes in the past, so they passed Kathy's strict vetting. Assuming Bruce can bear to hand over the keys, Gussie will become the first car for their daughter Jess, who couldn't come on the great journey, as she's at home studying for her HSC.
