Automobiles

The Blightymobile joins a distinguished list of other mobiles run into the ground driven by Philip. Let's have a quick gander:

Year Auto Piccy Reason for death
1997-?? Mazda MX5 - Miata blightymobile_sm.jpg (4616 bytes) None as of yet, though I did lend it to Jon Hartley for a couple of weeks.
1994-95 Citroen 2CV - Dolly Lent it to Brother Hezza, who claimed the suspension broke after spending the night with a girl nicknamed "the brick ****house". Yeah, cheers.
1994 Mini - blue Scammed it off on some innocent
1992-93 Mini - black "Cato", formerly owned by Garrett "I'd rip my own grandmother off" Gloyn. Would no longer go forwards
1992 Metro - brown Embarassment
1990-92 Citroen 2CV - maroon citmaroon_sm.jpg (6903 bytes) University car, seen here invaded by female fans. Managed to flog it to some Yank in need of "temporary wheels". Seen in a scrapyard 3 months later.
1989 Morris Minor moggy_sm.jpg (3738 bytes) Sold to Charlie, who had to mortgage his future to make the monthly repair bill.
1988-89 Citroen 2CV - green This unfortunate vehicle had one of those accelerator pedals which would conveniently fall off in the middle of main junctions. Sold to unsuspecting girlfriend.

 Jointly owned with Bid, we painted this vehicle after an aborted trip to Europe. At one stage we did the old tie the steering wheel and leave it in 3rd gear pootling around at 20 mph (having jumped from the vehicle. Bid and I briefly fell out, during which I left it locked outside his house. He hotwired it, returned it to me and I brillo padded the paint off. Good at catching fire. Then we repainted it (matt/gloss purple/green) and sold it to the most gullible living person, Sarah Steven.
1988-89 Land Rover larry_sm.jpg (3621 bytes) Poor Larry bit the dust - and not just in Lake Cackyerself but the Big End. Still, was the most gag-filled automobile to date, the only car I've seen house a TV and did Andy Stafford no end of good.
1988 Renault 5 Alleged to have been "on two wheels" in school carpark by mad school secretary. Floored it on the way to a university interview. Never recovered (my academic career).
1987 Ford Escort See "Metro" entry
