Reading this list makes me realise that I have both crashed too many cars and also owned too many VOLVOS!

The Volvo Amazon was written off too but that was intentional! I own a small business supplying fruit machines etc to Pubs and Clubs. And every know and then I get a skip and scrap maybe 10 to 20 machines that are no longer "siteable". Well one hot summer day as I was waiting for the skip to arrive one of my friends arrived and we had a few beers in the sun, and then a few more and so on and so on! The conversation turned round to the Volvo and what to do with it as it had just failed its MOT. Well you can guess what the conclusion was?

Rather than spend hours in the sun with a sledgehammer breaking the machines up we used the volvo! I dont think I have ever had so much fun in the whole of my life! We must have spent at least half an hour taking increasingly faster runs through the lines of machines until the car after losing all its water along with half the radiator stopped dead never to run again. Silly but fun. By the way this all took place on private land.
