You’re on the phone with your trusted mechanic, and there’s a sharp inhalation of breath before breaking the news: an estimate for repairs so costly it makes you want to open your mouth and scream. Your mind starts racing. It’s been a good car, your trusty steed for years of commuting the freeways around Perth …
You made up your mind. It’s time to call a tow truck because the old car that has been faithfully getting you around town has finally died.

Your car has been your best buddy, but here he is, parked in the corner of your Drive way on Perth.

That car has just been sitting there, face it. Perhaps it’s time to retire the old family wagon, seen better days; that project car you never quite made a complete project of, or the consequence of a fender bender on one of Perth’s busy roads.
