Geoff:
But it didn't run out of petrol. There was steam coming from under 
the bonnet when the engine died but it restarted after the Whomping 
Willow incident and huffed off into the forest after ejecting Harry, 
Ron and their luggage; the darn thing was still banging around in the 
Forbidden Forest months later......

Actually, the last model - with the raked back rear window - was a 
stylish little mover. I had a college friend who had one just before 
I joined the motoring classes.
