First car: C-reg metallic blue Honda Accord hatchback, inherited. Can't remember what happened to it, but somehow it morphed into my second car, an A-reg metallic blue Honda Accord hatchback (also inherited - perhaps it's a family curse or something). Anyway, that car died on the road to Reading in '97, having tired of flashing its oil-change-required light at me for over a month and so just went BANG. (I learnt my lesson.)
Then there was an H-reg red Honda Civic hatchback (purchased) which I lent to a friend's wife. She scraped it rather badly on parking, but I forgave her and lent it to her again, because she wasn't going to scrape it a second time. She realised this too, so instead she forcefully rammed it backwards into a VW van, writing it off.
After that came my current car, a green Rover 416 saloon - at least, it says Rover on the badge, but it's actually a Honda (really). I don't know why always drive Hondas, or why I treat them so badly. It's currently parked outside, covered in months-old birdshit and with one door bent partially open by a thoughtful person who relieved me of my stereo. Sometimes I actually make it to places without incident, but it's not often. Need a lift?
