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.

Fair play to you... BUT YOU BROKE MY CAR!!!
For my 21st I had decided to treat myself to a sporty, larger car than the knackered old fiesta I had been driving for many a year. The larger, sporty car turned out to be a very nice 2.0i Zetec Ford Cougar, the best car I have ever owned.

In 2006, I was driving my pride and joy away from some traffic lights, when BANG! I was T-Boned by a very surprised looking elderly chap, slewing my car across the street and into a bollard.

The one thing that still stands out, apart from seeing my pride and joy become a crumpled mess, is what the poor old duffer said to me after the accident;

"I am so very sorry, it is the first accident I have had since the war!"

I had a similar thing:
Me: "You were on the wrong side of the road!"
Him: "Oh yeah... I'm used to driving in Germany, sorry mate!"

I know! I genuinely felt sorry for him, all those years of safe motoring, then all your confidence destroyed in a few seconds. Turns out he had jumped a light accidently, by the time he had selected his gear and pulled away the lights had gone red again.

On the plus side, the payout enabled me to buy the car back, get it fixed and install a full wide arch body kit! :-)
