dozy barstwards

Post by glasgowjim » Wed Mar 20, 2013 7:19 pm

Went out to the car tonight to drop daughter in town and looked at the rear arch (NS) . My car had beautiful rust free perfectly formed pert little arches and some barstwarding tit has scrapped right along it removing some paint as far down as the bare metal. Really pissed off with this one. Must have happened either at work (unlikely) or the local supermarket. Seriously not best pleased . Will put up a photo when I can bring myself to photograph/look at it again. :kill: :kill: :kill: It makes me :sick: :sick: :sick:

Accidents happen, but then run away that's a bad attitude.
I feel sorry for you Jim.
after over 10 years parted with the 1995 Volvo 480 ES 2.0

THE 480 with good arches ;-)

I work next to a supermaet Jim & my 480 has had an insane number of trolley pangs and car door scuffs. As I may have said I had it respired last year & already some off has crashed into the front bumper when it was parked :kill: :kill: :kill: :kill: :kill:

cos the last thing they are thinking about is driving when in these places

same thing happened to me - someone stoved my door in then ran away. Never mind no doubt with an attitude like that they will be rewarded someday with something similar
