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.

I had a great Mini....Many years back when I was young and more stupid! It was only a Mini 1000 but it had a Bigger carburettor, a Cherry bomb exhaust, was red with a white roof, had little worlfrace alloys and a Walnut dashboard and a little steering wheel! In a slightly rusty round the edges way it was the Mutt's nuts!
However.... it had a problem! If I used the horn ever, it would short out the ignition and kill the engine momentarily, without any sound from the horn! I never bothered to fix this as it was electrickery and therefore a waste of my time!
However I used to forget this, and when I occasionally got cut-up, or slighted in some way(I probably always deserved it!) The red mist would descend and road-rage would get to me and I'd acellerate like a youthful loon and HIT THE HORN!....... and then decellerate in their wake like a deflating balloon!!!
Hundreds of 80's drivers must have looked in their mirrors thinking...."Yes son, you know your place.... increasingly further behind me!"
