"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 Mk1 Fiesta 1.1L again (see previous answer to this QoTW if really bored)
I did put it up on two wheels going round a corner way too fast and encountering centrifugal (or is it centripetal?) force and using a small grassy bank as an impromptu ramp at which point I wobbled up the road for ten or fifteen metres on right hand wheels before coming back down with a crash and a mangled front wheel. Had to wait for ten minutes before it was cool enough to the touch to change the bloody thing. Well that and get my breath back, calm down and allay the fears of my passengers!
