I'm getting my drive opening widened, like my other next-door neighbour (the nice one) had done. We've got a diagonal wall that comes in from a pillar, robbing you of 5ft opening width and puts the gates 4ft back from where the drive actually starts - stupid design by the house builders.

Might put a letter through all the neighbours doors to tell them to be on alert for vandalism and also say I have submitted CCTV footage to the police. If it is him, he'll be sweating for a few days waiting for a knock on the door (if only I had some footage).

Booth: Nope ditched the dashcam when it screwed up a week into ownership, only continuous shooting would've caught it, and that mode fried it.

Someone rear ended me on Thursday. Luckily low speed and just cracked rear bumper. He accepted full liability so his insurance are paying.

Car is now back in the body shop for a new bumper, hopefully no more serious damage. Glad I didn't get the small mark on the bumper from my previous car park incident painted now. Every cloud!

Good that you can be positive! At least it'll be all shiny and new soon :smiley:

Oh no, Snooze.  :sad:  Glad it's nothing too major and will be repaired at no cost to you.  Soon be back to its best.  :smiley:

Got 2 quotes for my scratch - £360 and £300. Both quoters stated that the blending area will be huge, about 1/3 of the passenger side of the car! If the scratch had been twice as long it would've been the same price.  :shocked:

The £300 quoter did say he'd do my stone chips for nowt so he's got the job - 24th November. Photobucket isn't letting me upload a photo to add here.

Not too bad then seeing as the stone chips are in with that price..
Hope the overall job is done to your expectations  :whistle:

Fingers crossed good luck with it....

The only issue with the blending is the overspray under good light, especially LED.
Its gutting to see it.
Mindless vandalism.
If its going in the drive way get a RING doorbell, it records all motion even at night and notify's you.

That's a relief all things considered.  Soon be back in one piece.
