A prisoner in my own scoob!
Well thats what it feels like! carnt go anywhere from fear of breaking down, carnt leave it anywhere too paranoid about it getting broken into,stolen,damaged. If im brave enough to make a run for somewhere then ive still got to worry about optimax availability! Well its a good job ive got the transit connect :-)

Why should it break down ?
Use Ultimate or Tesco special stuff.
Take a chill pill and enjoy, failing that buy a 1.6Lx Focus.
No one will look twice at it, it shouldn't break down and you can stick whatever petrol you like in it,problem solved.

Its not the car, you have some "issues" you need to see a psychiatrist about!
1) Filling up with regular unleaded will not damage your engine if your not taking it to the limits.
2) There isnt some dodgey geezer waiting in every carpark for you to leave your car so he can nick it.
3) Its not got some magnetic energy that attracts every shopping trolley within 100 metres.

Mate,
I am sure most of us have been there. I still find it hard taking it to the shopping centre car parks and tesco but have learned that it will take over your life style if not.
As has been said. Drive it and enjoy mate. Nothing lasts forever anyway so make the most of it.
Get out there and drive it.

Just relax.... doesn't matter if you fill it up with regular unleaded (from time to time..) and get a good quality steering lock for when you're out & about etc..
Anyway you should worry more about the thieving ******* braking into your house at night and threatening your family for the keys rather than leaving it in a car park... hope you feel better now.......
