....I don't think it's solely women drivers - The other day I saw a guy swing open his car door into the side of the car parked alongside (supermarket carpark again) without batting an eyelid. Even with me walking by and glaring at him, he just didn't get the message. If I'd stopped and said something the chances are that I could get nasty so I tend to walk away. My words can be extremely vitriolic.

I love that TV advert where a guy finds a totally deserted and empty part of a supermarket carpark to safely leave his car....He walks away smugly and then suddenly a large jet engine falls from the sky and totals his car!

....Incident happens at about 4:00pm > Workshop informed at about 5:00pm > Invited to turn up at workshop as soon as I like the next day (tomorrow) > Ready later in the day or at worst the following morning subject to paint finish = Couldn't possibly be quicker! This is why I'm forever boring people by singing the praises of my VW dealer and its affiliated companies.

I've no idea what the cost will be but Mark has done lots on my car previously and he's always been totally reasonable and either the same or cheaper when I have bothered to get a comparison cost.

A Big Thanx for everyone's posted well wishes - It's much appreciated and shows what a good community we are :afro: :cool: :afro:

the guys can be Arschloch (as we say in German) too.
In the past week I had 2 of them arselochs getting my blood pressure up.

I was standing on tram lines waiting to get into a shop's parking, it was packed with cars, and there was a tram comming, and then this guy in a white BMW, who saw the situation I was in, just drove in front of me. I tell you, I was prepared to get out and execute some punishment on his "arsch".
The other guy in a cross over did not let me drive onto the highway, I almost had to stop and risk an accident.

Recently I've been thinking of buying a bat to have it in my car, I cannot stand the inconsiderate barstewards recently.  :lipsrsealed:

Yesterday a crazy lady (about 45ish) in an R32 saw me in her rear view mirror and decided to show off (can you imagine). So she revved her R from red light to red light. Finally we stand at a red light, three lanes, she is in far left, I am in far right, there is a car in the middle, and just after the red light there is construction work and the other two lanes converge into mine. WHat happens? It goes green, she steps on it and cuts off the other guy and me, and gets into my lane, I am totally amazed by her stupidity, I give her a bip, she stops dead on the road.... I have no words... :lipsrsealed:
