VTI orbituary

Decided to fufil my promise to do up an orbituary for my vti. hope this does justice to this wonderful and humble servant of 2 years.

"vti was brought into andy's life in late 2003. He caught andy's eyes with his excellent performance together with his fanciful appearance and virtues. Chrome sports rimms, koni suspension, momo steering wheel, spoiler, fog lights, amplifiers and a vcd player system are what vti has to offer to his new partner, his new friend.

Andy's affection towards his new aquisition showed as vti was showered with brand new tyres and new accessories. Together, they braved through both affectionate and difficult times. Vti never let andy down when he needed his help, his speed the most.

However, good times are never meant to last. As vti ages, his health starts to detioriate as well. Fevers(aircon working irregularly) and coughs(jerks) are just some of the few ailments starting to surface. His fever quickly recovered(aircon replacement) under the intensive care of andy, but the cough failed to recover totally despite repeated visits to the doctor.

In June 2005, Vti surffered a heart attack(battery flat) but as luck would have it, a timely transplant saved him back from the gates of death. Sadly, Vti somehow never seemed to recover fully after this, as his cough(jerks) came back more violently than before. An x-ray was performed this time round and the doctors confirmed vti's lungs(gearbox) was badly inflammed and the only solution was through an EXPENSIVE operation and transplant.

Andy adopted a wait and see approach, waiting to see if vti's lungs could miraculously heal by itself or till the day it totally failed before making a decision.

The final nail to the coffin came in october 2006. With prices of COE dropping drastically,(2½ yrs of vti COE= a new car's 10 yrs COE), the time has finally arrived for a painful decision to be made. The time for severing ties, the time for looking forward and the time for moving on.

Vti was warded to the hospital on the 9th Nov and his fate left entirely to the doctors and surgeons. A major facelift and transplants could be done to prolong his life, although pulling the plug to end his life seems more likely. Again, this decision totally lies with the relevant authorities.

It must be noted that its in good faith that vti's demise was brought about. His legacy(scrap value + COE refund) will live on(as downpayment) in andy's new friend, the mazda 3.
VTI, we'll miss you........"
