Last outing for Rattles

Sad to see him go. We've had him for 24 years and he has never let us down.

By the time, he has rattled a bit in recent times, but the reason he has that name is that Rattles is an anagram of Starlet, his model. 

In extra - present from our garagiste with the new car (to be pictured tomorrow) - how nice is that!

We got Rattles before we were married. When the garagiste of the time gave Oliver a bunch of flowers for his wife (having met me when we went to see the car) he was disconbobulated when Oliver said 'She's not my wife', as he also was when Oliver said we were going to call the car. Rattles! Gave him something to talk about in the pub.
