My Dearest Brunhilde,
When we first met, Oooooooo back in April 2010, I wasn't too sure how our relationship would fare. You were, well, sorry to say this old girl, but you were a bit lumpy and bumpy, you weighed a flippin' tonne and you were from a far far away place compared to my silky smooth Japanese girlfriend.
But you my dearest friend, will always have a very special place in my memories. Your contribution to my life in the last three years has gone beyond the pale and I thank you with all my heart.
You have taken me all over Europe;

You've safely taken me round cities and their infamous ring roads;

We've shared adventures in far flung places

And you'be been an absolute joy to take off road


and of course, for a big old bird, you've hustled it on road and have done yourself proud.

You even whisked me off to get engaged you sly old tinker ..

And so tonight old girl, you took us on our last ever two up trip - and as always you did your magic on a typical midweek jaunt (to the pub
) that sums up your love of life and your laissez faire approach in an increasingly stressful world.


And what did you do on the way home after a pint of Shep Neame and a white wine ??
You went down a muddy byway two up in yer RoadSmarts yer daft old bint


As we hit our homeward stretch, we posed for one last playful photo - the irony not lost on me as we watched the sun setting on a beautiful evening.


And so it is Brunhilde, that I wish you the very very best of luck with you new owner, and I hope and pray that he bonds with you, and has all the fun, laughter and tears that you have given me in our relatively short time together.
Thank you old girl ... Thank you so so, so very much and I promise with all my heart that you'll never be forgotten
