Kermit

Well, here it is in her own words the story of Kirstens Car called "Kermit";

I have only ever owned one car and Kermit is it !!!   I drove past this thing nearly four years ago and it was love at first sight.  We've been together ever since and although we have had our ups and downs, we are still on speaking terms.  Its an extremely fun car to drive (once you get used to its idiosyncracities) - especially around the quiet country roads of East Kent .  It was originally a pick-up but has had lots of extra bodywork welded on (in 8 ml steel plate !).  Its actually a fairly standard Moggie (if you don't count the wheel arches,  running boards, fat tyres, tiny steering wheel, stubby gear-stick, bucket seats and XJ6 petrol cap) and people either love it or wonder why on earth I ever parted with my cash. 
 
At the latter group I can only shake my head  - they just do not understand............

Sadly, Kermit is currently off the road to have a new gearbox and clutch fitted- and to have various petrol leaks and poor starting fixed,  get well soon Kermit! 

Kirsten also has an early 80's Triumph Tiger motorbike, on which she is planning a round the world trip. You will be able to follow her progress here:-
