This is a question Cars

"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

My cars
Was gonna post this as an answer but its not that exciting.

1. Old Austin Metro - First car having passed my test. Had to get on hands and knees and pray to the gods of Metros that they would allow my car to start. This also usually involved sacrificing a lamb. But when she ran, she ran well :) I didn't crash it. Amusingly it got nicked!

2. Fiat Punto 1.7TD - Splashed out a bit on something I was promised was more reliable by a certain large car supermarket. And the promise of if anything goes wrong then drop it back in no problems. Stuff did go wrong and they were rubbish about it. Car finally finished off when the oil managed to fall out of the engine, it ceased. Got it repaired but it was sounding more like a tractor than a normal diesel. Didnt crash it. Traded it in for a:

3. Brand Spanking New Seat Ibiza 1.9 TDI FR. Which i then had breaks upgraded on it, chipped to go faster. + a few other mods kicking out 150BHP. Beautiful car, never a problem with it. Except.. Crashed it... twice. Second time was a write off. (Both crashes were at slow speeds too!)

4. Another Seat Ibiza 1.9Tdi Lower model though and second hand. Damned depreciation with insurance meant i could replace for like for like. But never mind. Not crashed it.. yet :)
