Yeah I know all cars are shit, and I do seem to find ones with the common faults every time. In all honestly Id rather just hide at home and not go out at all, would save any possible breakdowns but apparently it's not acceptable to do that. 
What I cant make you guys understand is that if and when breakdowns occur, I cannot cope with them (amongst many other things). I can't ride in an RAC truck because even 5 miles was more than my stomach could take take in one when the 306 let me down. It also triggers panic attacks which set off IBS and I was just lucky with the 2nd breakdown that I was close enough to call my Grandad to take me back to his for the loo before the RAC truck even arrived. I really can't explain the lack of being able to cope in these situations.
I know breakdowns happen, it is to be expected with such a complicated lump of machinery, but that doesn't mean I can deal with it.
I realise there's gotta be a compromise - but its not gonna be my brain/stomach...and I can't print money so its not gonna be cost either...so really I'm f*cked from any angle lol.
This thread has run its course and may as well be ended.
