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.

First car I bought myself was a Viva GLS1978, 1.3 engine, four-spot headlights, even had a rev counter. A real fanny-magnet in 2003.
But those engines were DIRE. OHV, the owner's club told me it would lunch itself at 70k miles. I bought it at 69k. It did 1050 miles before throwing a rod and killing the engine, and I was too skint to transplant a new engine on it.
It's still on the road somewhere though.
