Look what they done to my Pug...

Over a period of two years, mindless arseholes in various car parks and streets have beaten the hell out of our car. Of course, no one saw a thing...









I'm assuming this forum has a policy against foul language, so lets just settle with, "I'm very annoyed..."

Yes, no words sum it up really... you go to all the bother to look after it and some folks just dont care.

Time to learn PDR I thinK!

do you know that theres actually no law against parking between two parking bays in a supermarket carpark or garage or similar , you just have to put up with dirty looks and the usual notes on your windscreen , but your car doesn`t get dented or scraped , i`m sure you`ve seen this before and thought what a twat . (try it and see)

Around here, most supermarket car parks are patrolled by EuroParks or similar, and they issue tickets for inconsiderate parking.....

Best trick is to buy a child seat and leave it in the car... with some token toys on the back seat and steal mother and child spaces.. he he!!!

Nope, don't need to do that. We have two child seats already, and a sixth seat folded down in the back. Here it seems numpties are attracted to others cars - I have even parked well away from the shop's entrance, where there are about a dozen or so clear slots. Then come out to find a beat-up, ramshackle Ford Sierra parked right next to it! It's like "What the kfcu!" there's plenty of empty spaces, why park next to me???"

we bought a partner combi, ok its not pretty or sporty but the sliding doors mean its easier and less damage is caused in carparks !

...I like the idea of sliding doors, as long as a wheelchair does not emerge and cause damage!

Us too! There can be 30 empty bays, you park in the middle one or right at one end, and either transit man or dole walla and his 5 kids (who all just throw the doors open no matter that they hit the car next to them - and why not? After all, everything in thier world comes free doesnt it!) parks right next to you!
We occasioanly go camping and the same principle applies - you find a spot with loads of room each side, nice and quiet - that entire side of the field/site empty. Next thing you know, another tent or a mobile portaloo (caravan) comers and parks 2 feet away with it's main window facing into the front of your tents entrance!
I've always wanted to ask them why, but I bet they couldn't tell you themselves.

Nice thinking, but it's the @rseholes with the regular doors that cause the damage. Like I once heard - "So, you have good brakes. Pity, the twat behind you doesn't!"

I know what you mean i try to park as far away as possible in car parks and you always get some idiot that will park next to you in a heap of crap.I think they do it on purpose. We have a 59plate 407 sw in 2 weeks it has a dink in passenger door and a deep scratch on rear bumper.
Sometimes wonder whether its all worth it
