I hate where I live !!

In the 3 & half years we have lived in the house on this new estate, my wife has suffered damage to her alloy wheel centre cap with a crowbar or screwdriver trying to get to the wheel nuts.

I had the n/s/f wheel nuts on the coop loosened which I found after a loud noise on the M2, had the boot dented my a cloud9 of a neighbour after leaning on the car to push over a stack of bricks behind it and now the final straw is someone has keyed my n/s/r quater panel deep enough to need it painting !!!!!

Im soo pi**ed off ive turned to a bottle of wine for comfort.

I wonder how many countries have managed to keep this sort of senseless behaviour to a minimum.

Don't worry about the vino, that's understandable!

But avoid at work laugh

Hope it's not too much hassle to get it sorted, it's a b4st4rd when you take so much care of these classics.

Sorry to read about this Rob frown

I know what you mean about hating where you live though, I feel the same.

Only today a young man we have known since he was a boy told us that his 3 month old whatever the quickest Ford Focus is called was keyed in Tesco's carpark.

It's down to the metal of course and a metallic paint. grr

Ther is no excuse for these scumbags who are jealous of someone who works hard to afford a decent car.

So they damage it.

The police were not interested other than to give them a crime number. The nick is 200 yards from Tesco.

This really infuriates me. Pete is on the money.

No excuse for this what so ever. These people do not care and just do not think.

I have wondered before how I would re-act if I saw somebody doing that to my car.

I recently had a delightful 14 year old boy imform me that he considered me a "Wa*ker" for driving a "Wa*kers" car!
I of course commented on his charming vocabulary... He called Daddy round to see me who informed me that his son was indeed correct!
I commented "I'm sorry that myself and my car cause you such offence" He looked puzzled, muttered something obscene, and walked off. His spotty, vile offspring gesticulating at me as they left!
Imagine my surprise when, the next morning I found a chunk out of my drivers side door, obviously done with a hammer. About 1/2 inch deep and through to bare metal.......
It's the Jeremy Kyle generation folks!

Its a shame that other people make their business to tell what you can or cant do nowadays......

Also the fact its cost me my hard earned money to repair MY car through no fault of my own.

Wish I had CCTV that gave me the evidence I need to cross the road & beat the living day lights out of them.......

Rant almost over

When I bought my Inky, every panel had been keyed by a previous owner's ex girlfriend ! I've managed to get rid of some of them but the boot and bonnet are too deep. When asked by friends if I'm getting it resprayed I reply 'What's the point, it'll only get keyed again'. A sad statement on today's society, but probably true.
Hope catch 'em.
