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.

Better all round
My car was written off in a crash in Edinburgh back in February. As my insurance company managed to get the other guy on record admitting liability, I was given a golf GT as a courtesy car, followed by a VW passat. Both 2.0 diesels, both on '08 plates, both worth over ten grand. I'm twenty. My car was worth £550. I had the golf for three weeks, and the passat since then. By my calculations, I've cost the other guys insurance company well over £5000 on a car worth £500 just because they are determined not to pay, despite being without a leg to stand on.
Admiral (my insurance company) have been great through the whole thing. Actually, I'd rather not give the passat back... it's nicer than anything I can afford.
