Doing slightly over 60 mph when a woman at a junction saw me coming and pulled out at the last second anyway, where I had a split decision choice of swing to avoid her or just go straight into the back of her car. I swerved and she took off, wrong decision. Another great moment about two years ago, turning right into a supermarket and a guy (off his face on weed) drives into me at over 40mph in a Volvo with a trailer load of lawnmowers, happy days. Oh, and at Knockhill, snapping the mainshaft in a redtop gearbox which took out the oil pump and several valves etc! No accident though so not that bad.
At least it didn't end up burnt out like most of the stolen ones.

Think the worst one for me was the Grey SR I had, was wrote off after being hit by a Integra Type R which had been rear ended by a derv Nova.
Was the cheapest Nova I had as well!

Getting a phone call from a good mate on a saturday morning, telling me his friend had seen a nova getting ripped round all night on a local shit hole estate in wakefield ! (Lupset estate to be precise)
Upon opening my curtains and still on the phone, i said " it was mine mate, its fxcking gone !"
Never to be seen again 1.2 with 34k on the clock, that was the mrs 1st car !
