Poor Old Hettie

Poor Old Hettie is poorly. I am unsure yet if the problem is fixable but at times I was lucky to reach 30MPH going up not particularly steep hills.
My long suffering mechanic will get to work tomorrow morning and check his answerphone where he will find a distress call from me.
I am so glad I was able to get Hettie home rather than have to pull over onto the hard shoulder. I am hopeful that when my mechanic is free to look at her I will be able to get her started and drive her 2 miles to his garage.
Until this takes place I am not in a position to decide whether to repair or replace her.
Fingers crossed for the best possible outcome!
