After eleven years of service and 35,000km (you read it correctly) my wife's little 50cc scooter has been retired. It's generally been very reliable, but was starting to show it's age, and the cold winter weather that we've been having was the straw that broke the camel's back. The scooter riders in Vietnam would have been impressed with the amount of stuff that she's regularly carted around on it. The Green Hornet, known by everyone in our suburb, has gone for parts, and we've replaced it with a 2009 Hyundai Getz. Chris get's her wish of being warm and dry for going to and from work, and I go from driving a "Beer Man's" ute to an upholstered shopping trolly.
Here it is on it's last journey to the wrecker.
