I should clarify this. I have trashed green car (the Micra). Put about 120,000 miles (largely motorway driving) on it in about 5 years, crashed into a load of stuff and skimped on servicing. It is still going... every year I put it in for an MOT with a heavy heart and every year it passes and JUST KEEPS GOING. However, this zombie-car attribute is starting to make it come apart around the edges, and it only behaves in town traffic for me, not cybermule.
