You have to have one to know when you're having a bad one I suppose! This morning, car in fronts spare tyre came loose, fell in the middle of the M32/M4 slip road, and was subsequently hit by another car and me. The other car lost use of it's gearbox, I got away with the back of my front M-tech 1 spoiler disintegrating and my BMW m/sport alloy wheel distorting.

As I'm driving home to Exmouth in torrential rain, I notice that my drivers footwell is soaking wet near the door sill. No obvious sign of a leak.

Nearly home when my sw/auto gearbox keeps disengaging top gear and revving too high. (This eventually sorted itself out though)

Still the best car I've had the pleasure to drive though!!
