200,000kms Of Good Times

My car died a while ago. A burly man came with a big truck, took it away, and turned it into a cube. It was a 1982 Sigma. Sky blue. Metallic. Heaps sexy. Check it out.

The Sigma

Ain't she a beauty?

My late Sigma is a rare concrete example of personal nostalgia. Because it was a piece of shit. It leaked, and thus stank when the rainwater festered in the centre section for a week after a shower. It was only occasionally reliable, and thus not strictly reliable at all. It did 0-100 in about a week. The front indicator was held on by hundred-mile-an-hour tape. It had a one-speaker stereo with a broken tape deck and a radio that forgot presets if the engine wasn't on. The front bumper was falling off. The rear bumper was falling off. It shook violently at 50, 70, 90, and later 60 and 80 Ks an hour. Its indicators frequently broke / flashed double time / didn't flash at all / glowed dimly. It had no heater, no airconditioning, no rear demister, a front demister that only demisted about a magazine-sized area just adjacent to where the driver most needed visibility, and it made a SHITLOAD of noise. And guzzled petrol. Leaded. And oil. Which it dribbled onto the ground.

Get the idea?

But damn, now that it's gone, that car has assumed an almost mythical romanticism. Remember those drives down the coast? (My redheaded friend: it overheated). Those luxurious sheepskin seat covers? (Redhead: they stank of festering rainwater). The capacious boot? (Your mother spilt milk in it in the early 90s and the odour remained). "Bah!" I reply. "The Sigma is the enduring symbol of my lost youth! You have a heart of stone, redheaded one!"

Interestingly, since getting rid of it, I have learned that in the parlance of the suburban drug dealer, "Sigma" is code for cocaine.

PERSON A: Yeah, g'day. I'm calling about the blue Sigma in the Trading Post.
PERSON B: Righto.
PERSON A: I was just wondering, is it a Chrysler?
PERSON B: No, mate. It's a Mitsubishi. (The marque of the Sigma designates different types of cocaine - Ed.)
PERSON A: Sweet. How much again?
PERSON B: Two hundred.
PERSON A: Sweet. Might come round and have a look. I'm after five if that's alright? (Grams of Sigma (cocaine) - Ed.)
PERSON B: Yep.
PERSON A: Sweet.

And so on. Pretty cool, huh?

But I didn't always think that. I used to agree with the Redhead. I can remember cold, rainy days, when I closed my eyes and BEGGED for a little asian car with a demister, a heater, a CD player. No personality? Who cares? I'm freezing my nuts off on the threadbare sheepskin in this old piece of crap! And it smells of piss! Give me something reliable. Something so cheap that I can buy spare parts of the shelf at K-Mart. God help me, I wanted a Daewoo.

Sorry. The point. Personal nostalgia. Yeah, the point is that the Sigma was a piece of shit. I knew it then, I know it now. But it was MY piece of shit. I was Cameron to the Ferris of my friends. I had a piece of shit. And they envied it. So now I remember it fondly. Like an old friend with whom I shared wild continental adventures before she succumbed to consumption or some other suitably romantic affliction. And, in the Sigma's honour, I have procured another old, noisy, unreliable piece of crap. A Kombi. At least it's got a bed in the back.

PS And I cranked the Sigma past 200,000. Sweet.

Impressed that you got a photo of the big 200,000. That must have taken some concentration.

There's something about a truly crap car to really inspire nostalgia. I miss my little rice-bubble Colt shitbox, even though I have never felt as much rage as the time it stopped at the Dog on the Tuckerbox and refused to be moved for two hours!!

When I eventually relented and called the RACV, the little fucker (glint in it's eye), started up first time the very moment the man in the yellow car with the flashy lights showed up. I will never forget the scorn on his face and I could swear I heard chuckling as I eventually puttered off down the Hume back to Melbourne.

But I never could blame it. I never got it serviced, never put oil in it, never washed it, treated it like shit and it even took a kangaroo on the bonnet in a valiant (and successful) attempt to save it's owners life. Ah Colty, we had the good times...and I'll remember the Stigma fondly.

Ah, the Colt. She was a sweet ride.
As for the 200,000 photo, I regret I wasn't actually in the car. I had dispatched the Redhead on an errand with a camera and strict instructions to capture the magical moment for posterity.

So 200000 is bad then? Mine's at 220. Will probably die at any minute.

Posted by: Adam 1.0 at June 20, 2005 03:46 PM

I suspect, Adam, it may even go longer.
Mine was still running. I was just jack of it.
I suggest a trans-Nullarbor journey. That'll learn it.

PS Serious respect for owning a Sigma. Specs?
