I had a '98 Clio 1.2 - totally stock except I fitted a CD player instead of a tape deck
The sunroof jammed shut, the interior door handle snapped off, the cambelt went whilst I was making progress in the outside lane of the motorway and lunched the engine, the ABS went nuts, a thief punched a hole in the passenger door with a screwdriver and stole precisely nothing, I pranged a kerb so hard that it bent the rim about 2 inches out, drunks put a foot long crack in the windscreen, and then a week before I was due to flog it for a grand towards going traveling, the gearbox jammed in second and I got £50 off a scrappy for it.
I won't be going back to French autos anytime soon
Prior to me having it, and that lot, the most remarkable thing happened to it. The front wing was ripped off by a big cat during the night.
No really! My folks woke up in the morning and went to take it out and the wing was mangled and hanging off, there was a huge paw print on the bonnet and what can only be described as deep gouges all over. Before you say it was just nobheads who happened to have a paw print maker handy, my folks lived in a ridiculously out of the way place about two miles down a dirt track from the nearest road, which itself was a back of beyond B road. No one ever walked past.
It's a crazy world.
