Big Ben's VRT

[MarkFoster 0]

That's definitely been done on purpose as a comment on how you've parked your car. What a tw@t, just because you're trying to look after your car a bit.

 

It's a sad state of affairs but if I ever have to use those big car parks I always park way out on my own as far away as possible - takes me 10 mins to ge to the shop mind you but at least I feel a bit happier about leaving the car...

[big ben 10]

yeah must be on purpose, wish i werent with the mrs as i would of left who ever a few suprises... thats why i really want to let my insurance know that someone has hit me up the arse in a car park now...

 

the corrado doesnt see car parks either as i have a daily, just popped in after a cruise to sort out my xbox, last time it goes in a car park :nono:

[The_Dude 0]

What a bellend. He's blatantly done that on purpose to spite you. But knowing insurance companies they'll probably claim you weren't parked correctly or something equally weasely. I would have keyed his motor or left a nail or two under the wheels. :mad2:

 

Or you could send his number plate off to the DVLA, find out where he lives then poo through his letterbox. :clap:

Nice! :lol:

He/She definitely deserved his/her tyres letting down for that little stunt.

 

You cars looking well by the way BigBen.

this sort of thing happened to anyone else?? my corrados attract trouble im sure...

 

Yes same things have happened to me. Im sure that parked corrados do seem to attract idiots :| Had my front wing bent in by a neighbor, she payed cash for the damage so i had the front bumper and bonnet done at the same time :grin: Then about 2 months later she reversed into the rear bumper, shes paying cash again so im gonna get the mirrors painted too. I always notify my insurance so that the incident is logged down, just in case she refuses to pay. This last time i ran out of the house shouting at her reversing and then, crunch!, she wound down the window and said ohh touch it up with a paint can and then drove off!

:bad-words:

 

I have lost count of the times that people have opened their car doors into mine while ive been sat in the car. The latest one was last week when a car full of blokes pulled up next to me outside my local co-op and there was literally 10 inches between the cars, i then watched in horror as the driver and rear passenger opened their doors straight into my car and were actually trying to squeeze out of their car :cuckoo:

thats not good you should of had a sh!t on the bonnet :lol:

 

had a man open hes door on my mate dazs rado we where in the car i want mad

Smash one of the windows to break in and then have a miniature scat party in there :lol:

[bristolbaron 10]

A while back i used to park across two spaces, until one day a scooby parked across the one next to me, so close to my drivers door i had to climb in the other side. I p!ssed myself at what he'd done - totally fair play and made me look like an idiot.. I now try to do this as often as i can :clap:

 

However actually touching or causing damage is a different matter.. personally at the time i think letting down the tyres would have been satisfying without lasting consequences, but too late now. A letter from his insurers would be enough to make him think next time though.

[PROVR6 0]

Thats Bang out of order, what a C**K. As you say, its even worse that the car park is virtually empty.

 

It annoys me when I park up in a car park with plenty of spaces and before you can get out some knob parks in the space next to you :gag:

[big ben 10]

the person must of been a prize cock, suppose there are a lot of people like that out there...

 

At least im getting it sprayed in a couple months, if the bodywork was perfect i reckon i would of smashed his windows with my handly little automatic centre punch 8) you never know when one could come in handy :lol:

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Parking across 2 spaces does tend to attract this kind of retaliation but there really was no need to shunt your car like that. Touching another man's property crosses a line and he did well to hide, the spineless tw@t.

The bloke obviously has a screw loose or a tiny c0ck, or both. :cuckoo:

 

Trouble is, you couldn't retaliate because you'd get caught on CCTV and YOU would be the one in trouble with the law and I think Mr no knob was counting on it :cuckoo:

 

Still, it would have been nice to bust his window, drop the handbrake and shunt his car across the carpark into a pile of trolleys with your car :D

[big ben 10]

if i was in my golf i would of give it a BIG shunt...

 

i always ram the mrs' little 106, top gear stlye :lol:

[Kevin Bacon 5]

That's the thing though, if you're in an old beater, people never bother you!!

[KADVR6 0]

 

i always ram the mrs

 

keep your personal life a bit more private mate :lol:

[big ben 10]

i was going to say i always ram the mrs in the rear :ignore:

Now't better than giving your car a good once over. Like the organisation in the garage; my cloths are all in a plastic bag. :notworthy:

[Jim 2]

I wish I was that disciplined with organizing my car cleaning stuff! I do a tidy out about once a year and the rest of the time I just chuck stuff back on the shelves however I like! It's pathetically lazy!

 

Top job on the cleaning too... think a pressure washer with some snow foam might have to be a future purchase when I move in with the missus! :)

[__Andy__ 0]

im glad im not the only one that spends hideous amounts of money on cleaning kit... good work.

 

where did you get the shelving and draws from as i should really do all this with mine, and also where did you get the cg bucket? do you use a two bucket method with the grit guards? if not then i can seriously recommend it.

 

another product you might want to try is surfex hd degreaser, its awesome stuff will clean up anything effortlessly..

Plastic drawers like that are usually plentiful in Wilkinsons and nice and cheap. Easy assembly garage shelving can be got from Argos! I've got some thats about 5 shelves tall and despite being plastic and clip together, holds a good amount of bits and pieces without being flimsy!

Really could not have gone to a nicer home. :clap:

I gather you fk1000p the Brembos for the winter too? LOL

 

Are you still pondering on changing the wheel colour mate, I still maintain they look great, suit the car when clean and the sun hits them.
