Does she run at all? She's be great in the derby.
No she doesn't run at all. Snapping the connecting rod was catastrophic.

Her name was Black Betty and she was a good car.

Sorry Bruno mate I've just caught up with this thread & I'm sorry to read about 'Black Betty'.....


Way back in the late 80's I bagged myself a Renault 19 16v ('hot hatchback') as a company car & I (among other things) bent the con-rods hammering it through a blown fjord costing my then-employers over £3.5k in repairs....

Next thing you know my bosses replaced it with a diesel Vauxhall Cavalier ('old mans car') but I can't say I really blamed 'em.
