I dont like to deprive parents of these parking spaces, but when my car is parked there for upto 10 hours per day it just has to be done.

Well no, not really.  Can't agree with you on that one mate, sorry.

If they need so much space to park, then some of these "parent and baby" shoppers shouldn't buy such unnecessarily large cars for their small families, should they :rolleyes: In fact it's probably these same people who vandalise other peoples cars which causes these spaces to be used like they are.

Makes you wonder how parents coped before these special parking bays were introduced :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear about your car mate, really does suck!

I find the parent and child spaces excellent, especially with a screaming, tired child. They are safer and easier for parents. I hate it when people park in these spaces and often tell them to park in the correct bay. Same goes with disabled spaces, that irritates the sh1t out of me. I have a disabled family member and this is a problem if we can't get parked because some fu3kwit parked there! Although I would never key a car myself, I can see why frustrated people do, and in a way I can't really blame them.

When i saw the title my first thought was oh no. The poor ferrari! then i noticed that it had not been moved :). On a serious note though thats a fantastic repair and the fools that did it should be hit by smart cars whilst crossing the street and die a pitiful death. Mike

Great repair job!

As mentioned before, at least it wasn't the Rari, but it is not acceptable on anyones car - whatever make/model.

The CS tucked up for the Winter yet Tony? Or do you use her throughout the Winter in between road salting periods?  :cool: :cool:

Know how you feel mate, had my GTI keyed from wing to boot. I know who did it, but can't prove it. No use doing anything to the idiot/weirdo, as he has no job, girlfriend, friends, house and a owns a crap car. Just really frustrating.
 Anyway, luckily the scratch was only in the laquer. Got a friend to buff it out with very fine cutting paste, then apply coats of wax. Got away with it this time, but it scares the sh*t out of ya!
Life is not a rehearsal, live it.
