My old car broke down in the snow and I had to get a replacement. It had to be under £2k and 50k miles, at a dealer who took credit card and preferably be on Forza and Gran Turismo.

What's with the badger story?.

I once crashed my old Fiesta Zetec-S into a ditch in the snow. I had been playing in the snow and decided to slow down before the corner as it came into a village and crashed into the ditch. I left it at a mate’s house and said my car wouldn't start to my parents. The following day it was back on the road and I phoned them up in the afternoon and said I had hit a frozen dead badger on a dual carriageway and my car had gone into the hedges. Since that day my mates called me Badger. The 1st forum I went to register on afterwards the username Badger was taken so I put The infront of it. My parent's didn't find out until my wedding day 4 years later.
