We had a Metro back in the 80's and it got nicked from Rochdale multi storey. The police found it after it crashed after a bank job in Halifax. When I laughed, the coppers said it wasn't unusual to be used in a robbery because it attracted so little attention.
On page 1 I said my first car was a Mini City. I was only 20 or so, knew fuck all about cars, but bought this car from some twat in Failsworth. Being a clever buyer, I insisted that the seller took me on a test drive which he did with his dad. Everything went well so I handed over the cash and drove home with my new mini. It was only when I turned left that I realised the trailing arm bushes were fucked and that the test drive had only been right hand turns.
