[The Doctor faces the camera of his journal towards himself with a determined, serious expression. He holds up one finger.]

I've got quite a bit on my mind, and I'd prefer not to lose my temper... however-

[He turns it away, to show his TARDIS painted pink.]

I know the old girl wouldn't choose to do this to herself! Who's responsible?! Someone must be, because usually I can simply move into the vortex with her and when she returns her appearance is restored from whatever graffiti and defacement has occurred. This has been positively impossible to remove.

[Because it's the hot shit that all pimped out TARDISes have.]

There's any number of situations where it could be useful.

[Not that Narvin's encountered one yet, but he's sure they must exist.]

[Peter finds this whole conversation crazy and intriguing. He's bored enough to lurk.]

[Same, though only because it's amusing.]

Half invisible in the middle of a fight perhaps? So they know just where your hostile TARDIS is entering the vortex.

The old girl might have a broken Chameleon Circuit but she's far outwieghed that with her adaptability.

[So what if my car has that weird 60's pink Cadillac paint job, all her parts work and the woven seat cushions are comfy!]

It would be useful for luring enemies into a trap. Especially if they couldn't keep up otherwise. [You never know when luring inconveniently slow enemies into a trap might be the perfect strategy. And when it is, Narvin and his Type 98 with its dematerialization pause function will be all over that.]

By "adaptability" I take it that you're referring to the fact that she miraculously hasn't fallen apart yet. I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

[Your car looks like an escapee from a wrecking yard. Seriously, how do you keep it running?]

[championoftime]

I'd like to see how yours is standing up in a couple of millennia.

[These new models just aren't made for longevity like his baby is.]

[timesbureaucrat]

I'm sure the Type 98 will hold up just fine. Besides, I don't need a time capsule that will outlast my own lifespan.

[Dude, your car is older than you are.]

[championoftime]

Why not? [Boggled, why would someone not want a TARDIS they'd want to be with for that long?]

[timesbureaucrat]

Well, because after I'm dead...

It's not like the CIA could just re-bond her to someone else. [They *could* with a bit of effort and a time capsule memory readjustment, but he doesn't want them to. He (rather selfishly) wants her to last only exactly as long as he lasts.)
