SHE'S BACK!

Last February I lent my car to Carol and David. 
Waving good bye to Carol, David and my car in February. Off to Sydney they all go.

The young ones had to find an apartment and jobs before they could get a loan for a car. Now they have settled into Sydney with a nice apartment, great jobs and, now their own car. (Mazda3 Hatch) 
They arranged to have mine sent back to Brisbane on a truck. This morning we got the call to say the car would be arriving at the door at 8:00.
Whoo Hoo! She's back from her job in Sydney.  I love my little 'Getz'. 

Oh no! This big man is going to squeeze into my little Getz. I hope he can "Getz" out.
Here she comes!
I 'Getz' in and drive her into the garage, the first time in five months.

  1. Welcome home, Getz.

    I own a white Getz, we go together everywhere and after going for a drive around the block with me, my sister on returning to Coffs bought herself a blue Getz.

  2. Hi Diane, Glad your got your cute little Getz back. I had to laugh when you said you were pulling it into the garage... You were on the PASSENGER SIDE..... ha ha .... Forgot that you all drive on that side... I'd have a hard time getting used to that IF I lived there, or in England. Wonder who and why someone changed our country to the left side?????? Sounds like a research blog sometime....

    Hugs,
    Betsy

  4. I getz all excited when I see your little red car back, diane. Also cool to see the driver on this side again. In South Africa we have right-hand drive like you do. In North Africa we have left-hand drive (like Betsy!) Getz some gettzing used to when you return home to the SA again. Have a wonderful day. Jo

  10. Love this story and your attachment to your car. I had a lovely little red Peugeot 306 until a nasty RangeRover with a bull bar smashed up its rear-end and corrugated ALL its underneath.

    PS Love BB's ugh-boots!

  12. That was so nice of you to lend the young-uns your car. I love that car, by the way--red and tiny and probably gets very good gas mileage. Glad she's back home to you from her trip.

  18. Such a cute little car! I don't think they have that model here. It reminds me of my little red Rabbit, which I love. Looks like she had a fun working holiday :) Kat
