Default New Car Jinx!

I picked up a new car today.

On the way home I stopped off in Reading services and some bint reversed into me.

I am beginning to think I am jinxed.

The evidence....

Lotus Elise 111R
- on day 1 of ownership I reversed into the Mrs' car on the driveway
- within 1 week of ownership I got stuck in reverse as the clutch let go (thankfully sorted by the dealer I purchased from)

Honda S2000
- within 1 week of owership I dropped my keys on the floor... only to see them dissapear down a drain!
- within 1 month of ownership I had stoved it into a motorway crash barrier

Worst "ask me what new car I've got" thread ever.

Sorry, fleeting glance in this section.

(I did read that thread, but didn't read the end of it. My bad, as the Americans say.)

From your previous history, can I suggest you don't drive it again for a week?

Bad luck Nick

I told you to buy French.
Then you can firmly blame the car
