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.

I had almost finished restoring my MGB. It had been resprayed and looked a beaut.After posing about on the south coast one fine summer's day, I waited til the roads had cleared and flew home with the rev counter just into the orange. 60 miles -roof down - collar up - fly squash on my forehead. Trouble is, I lived just a short way from the motorway junction. And one of the restoration jobs not yet done was to replace the heat insulation blanket under the bonnet.
So while I was climbing out on my drive I smelt something burning - and watched the paint blistering up on my just resprayed bonnet.
Should have gone for the bake-on paint job, I suppose.
