Took the car to work today and left it in the works car park. Came out tonight and thought a bird had shat on front of the bonnet - wrong! Some barsteward has put a half inch gouge in the paintwork. What the hell is wrong with people? :sad:
-
Deliberately?
Someone spat on mine last night and I had gob all down my window and door. Scumbags. I feel your pain mate! :angry:
-
:cry: :sad: :angry:
IMO Jealousy and spite is the reason. They would rather waste there money on stupid things and then complain they have non. Its the must have culture, and if they don't have, destroy.
Sorry to hear about this hartside. :cry:
-
are you sure its a deliberate one, and not a big stone chunk?
hope you get it fixed thou!
cheers

People who do bad things, then bad things will happen to that person (Karma) what comes around goes around. Hope you get it sorted mate (The W******) :angry:
-
Pure scum fella, I'll always remember when I caught a little prick trying to break in to the second mk2 I owned, going back some 13 or so years. The car was immaculate up until that point, I used his head to put a bloody great dent in the rear quarter then finished of with taking my n/s wing mirror of with the help of his head as well. Little bar steward I wish I carried on.
-
Thanks everyone.
are you sure its a deliberate one, and not a big stone chunk?
I think it's deliberate. The size of it I'm sure I would have heard it hit and then hit the windscreen. Also has a half inch long gouge through the top coat going back, like it's been hit a blow. There are some jealous sods around as I've already had comments about driving a "fancy car"
Just ordered a VW Carbon Grey touch up pen to keep it from rusting :cry:
-
I feel your pain Hartside, some ba5tard did it with a shopping trolley to me.

Hartside:
I felt sick, angry and upset for you as I read your post.
The lack of respect, education, standards, care, aspiration etc, etc is now an integral aspect of our 'broken' society. Envy, one of the deadly sins, is the order of the day. I dispair sometimes and am unable to envisage how, if ever, things may change for the better in our country.
I do hope you get it fixed ASAP and to your satisfaction (here-in lies another problem).
Hopefully, with time, this will become a distant memory.
-
Thanks both, it will never fix right, but I suppose I'll have to live with it. I went back to work today to find out one guys 16 year old son had been badly beaten and seperately another guys 55 year old brother was knocked unconcious and had his bottom lip split in two, both in completely unprovoked attacks by youths.
What a terrible place we live!

Where did these atrocities take place, if you don't mind me asking. :sick:

That is so sickening...What is with some people. Hope you get it sorted. I remember my MK4 Golf GTI in black was keyed in a hotel car park...both sides
I just do not understand jealousy like that.

Absolutely love this..if only 13 years ago you could have captured this type of thing on youtube, I'm sure that would go some way into making anyone who has gone through that experience a little better.
-
^ i have not seen one like that on youtube but the one on there with a youth having a go at a home owner for about 10 mins then says come on and gets knocked down was fun to watch, as was the old bloke on the bus viatnam vet one.
-
this kind of sh1t winds me up. what part of the world are you in? trouble is it seems to happen everywhere even in nice places - my brother used to live in cambridge and had his 911 keyed, dented, windscreen wipers pulled off in car parks etc - utter c7nts - and that was fooking cambridge! its all down to jealousy. they should have their hands chopped off.

As a car enthusiast I obviously share your comments guys.
Driving a smart, well looked after car is a constant worry for me and it shouldn't be.
I don't have a garage and leave the motor on the road so I can see it from my flat window in north London.
The other night my missus says, "Do you know there are 3 lads sat on your bonnet?"
Rushing to the window I watched as 3 Asbo-prone posers slouched across taking photos of themselves with their mobiles.
Rather than making a fuss I just let them get on with it thinking that if I run after them they would probably come back and mark my car.
It seems that nothing is safe and unfortunately we can only do so much to protect our cars.

As sad and wrong as it is, but letting them got on with it was the right thing to do.
-
Agreed - there was no damage done.
Interestingly, I managed to leave my drivers side window open all night on Thursday only realising the next morning. Probably just a lack of attention.
However do you guys ever use the thing where you keep your thumb on the open button of the key? I have found on occasions that I come back to a car with all the windows slightly opened.

Hartside, your around my neck of the woods iirc im now a little worried. :undecided:
-
A little further North than you Snoopy over the water, but the same neck of the woods. A mate I visit often is in your area.
The young lad I mentioned had reconstructive surgery on his nose the other day, but the news on the older chap is that he has turned into an old man overnight. These bastards don't realise, or don't care about the damage they do to peoples lives. No-one to control things anymore - I can't remember the last time I saw a policeman around here. It's a country wide problem though, not just a regional one
-
Nothing is safe or sacred.
At times it feels like a losing battle: Danger from the public, unhelpful dealers and manufacturers etc, etc. One loses the will to live. :sick:

Didn't your alarm go off several times?! If not I'd investigate.

:embarassed: I have no idea what gets into them, why they think its funny to do such things.
Different area but I work in Newcatsle in a ruff area so i do get concerned and similar coments about the car :undecided:
-
Yes, I know what you mean about leaving the car in rough areas, we've got a Yaris and I tend to take it anywhere I'm not comfortable leaving the Golf. The damage to the Golfs bonnet was done at work by some jealous git I work with, as it's parked up in a works car park with no public access to speak of. Was talking with a mate last night who also works at our place and he told me he came out to his the other morning at work and some dirty git we work with had spat all down his drivers window - nice! And you think you know these people!

FFS who do you work for Hartside? Some real Shi*bags there mate :shocked:
-
It is really beyond comprehension what sort of scum he has as 'fellow workers'. :sick:
-
Ive heard similar things happening in the large factory next to ours on the tyne. I guess its just the times we live in sadly.
-
I am so upset for Hartside and for the two who were mugged. How awful.
It has really upset and sickened me. I had dreams about this last night and the night before.
How horrible and unnecessary.
Such things are affecting me more and more as I grow older and frailer.
-
I've got to say that 99% of the people I work with are honest, nice hard working folk, that I have a lot of time for. It's like life in general though, the minority are the "problem", and it's that 1% that do the horrible things.

.... and this is what has the greatest negative effect, unfortunately. :sad:
Hope you get the bonnet sorted. It should be fine. I had mine repaired after a prang and the result was perfect. Just check they blend the paint properly with the front wings. :smiley:
-
I dont think it did!
Is there a quick way of testing the alarm? I have no idea what it sounds like!

If the air is still outside it may not go off.
Two ways of testing the alarm are.
1) Leave the drivers side window open. Set the alarm, wait at least 1 minute, then wave your hand in front of the sensors that are mounted in the roof concel next to the sunglass holder. Your alarm should go off.
2) Or do what i did when i first got mine to see what it sounded like. :embarassed: Sit in the rear of the car. Set the alarm, wait at least 1 minute, put your arms to your side thene them up and down to set the alarm off.
-
Maybe mine is too sensitive but any time I have parked up and left the window open even slightly and locked the car, guaranteed the alarm goes off within a few minutes.
Strangely though I've never had a false alarm with the window completely up.
