Oh no!
The unthinkable as happened Harry has expired.....It happened on the pacific highway at 7.30pm just after sharks creek, heading towards Maclean.
"Harry Potter" met his demise, he came to a complete stop on a this very busy highway.
Trying not to get squashed by on coming traffic,
we managed to push him out of harms way.
By 8.45pm we were being hoisted on to the back of a breakdown truck and taken to a garage forecourt in Maclean.
We spent the night discussing how mean I had been to "Potter" and how I was embrarassed to drive around in him.
Then "Skim" starts in, reminding me how popular he was to children and how other wicked drivers tooted whenever they saw us.
Also how we pushed him to the limits on unsealed roads, steep hills and how he'd never let us down.
The thought of loosing him after all we had been through together made me feel so guilty.
Come morning, when "Potter" was hoisted away by Mike the machanic to see what he could do -
We waited for the verdict.... Mike could fix him!
A new fuel pump is all he needed. But we had a choice, wait around till 5pm for him to be fixed or wait for a replacement.....
No choice really, we couldn't leave our faithful friend after all we'd been through together.....
So like a pheonix "Potter" rose from the ashes and was ready to join us on our travels.
LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER With our faithful companion, we travelled further northwards.....
