Oh no! Disaster! Wilhelmina's broken! JUST as we're getting ready to go to the Dordogne on our holiday!!!

What happened was, Dad went out to start her this morning and she wouldn't. She just made this “clunk” every time he turned the key. We only knew when he came back in with his hair all messed up and with oil on his nice clean shirt. He'd been trying to fix her and as usual he couldn't 'cos he doesn't really know much about cars. Mum always says if opening the bonnet and peering into the engine while going “Yes... well... ummm... ” could fix Wilhelmina we'd never have to pay for any servicing!!

Awww... poor Dada... he DID fix her once, found a loose wire and pushed it back and she started straight away. Anyway she's hardly ever breaks down so he can't get any practice, can he?

He's taken her to Mick and Tony Motors... genius car fixers...
