    Got the word from the insurance company before - Felicia is a write-off.
    Body looked fine so they must have fucked the engine 😭.
    Anyway already talked to my mechanic (who also sells second hand cars, and actually sold me Felicia) and he has another car ready to go, so I’ll be having a look tomorrow.
    But my poor car…

      RIP Felicia. She’s had it hard… Good that your mechanic has some cars ready, so much easier than trawling carsales and traveling all over Melbourne.

        Fifteen years to the day since I got her, so she’s been a good solid workhorse. Not bad for $2500.

      I’m sorry to hear about your car after all this time.

      What happened to engine that made it a write off?

        No idea! I just sighted it when I took the spare key down and it looked fine, then the insurance company assessors phoned and said ‘nah, write-off’.
