Nic's Car

Since I started driving in 1984, I've always had fun with cars, mainly OFF the road, and here's a collection of stories. They are all true, and they also probably happen to other people too. If you're considering buying a car, then this might convince to to stick to public transport!

These pages are retained for historical interest for the main information presented.

To date I've driven a range of cars. The stories concern vehicles I have owned, namely a Ford Cortina estate detailing my attempts to make it go faster and trips to Kwikfit, a Ford Orion a diesel which served well until the wheels fell off, and the latest 'story so far' on a Citroen BX. I had a Rover Metro GTA, but for reasons explained in the story, it's been replaced with another Citroen, owned and driven mainly by the significant other in my life.

The stories are all true, and include accounts of brushes with the law, and 'accidents', and the grief that the MOT test has caused.
