Poor Mrs Turpin. I have to admit I've been lucky in my 25 years of driving (that's buggered it). I've spent most years driving between 25,000 and 35,000 miles a year and I think have been involved in 3 non-fault incidents.

I winced a little earlier in the week when I noticed damage to a neighbours car. He has some fancy BMW M850i which I gather cost around £100,000. It looks like somebody drove into the back of it whilst it was parked outside his house.

Thankfully I can't afford expensive cars, if that had happened to me I think I'd cry.
