After some frankly fraudulent political games at my company, I managed to get the Pug as a hand me down. I basically authorised the purchase of a new car for someone else so I could get the Pug. It was risky but it was worth it. It was the last iteration of the 205 with the cat. This took the edge off the performance but this car was all about the handling.

I drove it like I'd stolen it for 6 months but they decided that it was costing too much in tyres, fuel and god knows what other bits that kept going wrong.

I was gutted but made a case that if they didn't give me a brand new equivalent it was effectively constructive dismissal. God, I bet they hated me. So they got me a Saxo VTR - WhooHoo!
