Default Have you ever broken your car?

You know you get a little rush, put down your foot and do something silly and the engine goes bang. What have you done to break your car?

Destroyed my old Clio trying to 'mod' it before I was even old enough to have a provisional licence. Thats generally how things go wrong on my cars!

Ok I take the hint - off to get my pipe and slippers now! The Opel Mantra GTE was a cool car.

Managed to bugger up the rear suspension on two cars on a particularly badly maintained road local to here.

Seems Bucks CC takes no care or responsibility - in the end I persuaded them to pay up by witholding a portion of my annual Council Tax bill. They weren't too keen on being examined in a small claims court for fear of any number of precedents being set if the case went against them.
