True story
Would you believe I crashed the Maestro whilst speeding?!?! You couldn't make it up. I was late for work and failed to notice a 90 degree left hand bend over the crest of a hill. I rolled it into a field and climbed out through the windscreen. I recovered most of the value of the car by draining 4 litres of petrol from the tank. First car, so I didn't realise it was crap until I got a replacement (Peugeot 306). I assume I am the only person on the planet who has a Maestro story that involves excessive speed. When I got out of the car I staggered to a nearby farmhouse to call my dad for help. The old farmer opened the door and when I explained what happened he stated "Aye, 'appens about once a week ont' road!" Cumbrian dialect in case you were confused.
