My first car was a souped up Mini. After blowing the first engine after 4
weeks of ownership it was not many weeks after before I wrote the car off.
I was due to sell it the next day so decided there was no need to FIX the
brakes that were pulling to one side. And because I was selling it the next
day it seemed like a good idea to see how fast the replacement engine would
make the car go (about 85+ before the crash). Either the engine seized or the
big puddle I hit aquaplaned the car. I was at 45degress to the road, full
opposite lock and looking a large oak tree. I recovered the car into a
straight line but on the wrong side of the road. I was not heading for a guy
on a push bike. I hit the brakes real hard AND they pulled me right into a
ditch and a double barrel roll.

Before I had my Mini I smashed up a motorbike at 75mph on black ice after 4
weeks of ownership.
