I actually think my car hates me

Bought it december 19th 2010
someone smashed windowscreen december 27th
someone reversed into me 1st jan
the drunken lout kicked my door 21st jan (going to court for that)

and now this morning I get in, the clutch decides to stop working.....pedal has gone spongey but there is no sign of snapped cable

its a mk1 fiat punto...

i would say more likely the master by the pedal, the slaves tend to be noisy when they go, and they cause slippage by leaking on the plates
