I have decided that it is time for another German, this one has a bit more rust than German, but I wanted a project car, I stalled it a few times from Nugegoda to Nawala until the car fully died infront of the Welikada police station at which point I towed it to a safe place (the door locks don't work). Let's see who can guess the car from an AI generated poem
From the bonnet forward, time slows,
the star at the tip knows the way.
Beneath, a patient diesel turns,
two-point-one litres built for distance.
Four gears, chosen by hand,
each shift deliberate, unhurried.
Chrome catches a seventies sun,
round eyes fixed on a quieter road.
Doors close with a weighty promise,
meant to last for decades.
It never hurries or boasts.
It simply keeps going,
and lets those who know
recognize it first.
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.
