Our VW Passat was an excellent car and, apart from notching up the best part of 250,000 miles, it got us to Denmark safely.

Since we moved to Trøjborg it has been sitting on the street annoying the neighbours - parking is at a premium where we live.

So we eventually got around to selling it on eBay.

Some guy drove from Poland to pick it up. It was like saying goodbye to an old pal.

We now have bikes and buses.
