Your timing couldn't be worse Kingo after I've just raided the savings for a Home Theatre system!

However, if you have any "Ben Hur" style wheel daggers to keep the festering careless dimwitted inconsiderate shopping car park flockers away from my wheel arches - count me in.

And if I do ever catch any of these lower life forms in the act I'll need a file in a cake because as sure as eggs are eggs there will be trouble

You may have guessed what cowardly act has occured.

[Parts-King]

Ooops, touched a raw nerve I think

I guess you wont be wanting any for a while then (Kingo lights the blue touch paper and retires!)

Home theatre hey? hmmmm you must be minted AM, or you were until said purchase

Sorry to hear that :(

Much damage?

Hopefully not!

[anchorman]

Not really Fuj, another two ripples on the rear wheel arch (where there was one already).

It irritates me that people can be so inconsiderate. It would take a fair knock to dent it in that way. I know a chap who can straighten corrugated iron for a price but it only preps it for the next idiot to knock it. The trouble is that all these supermarkets give you a space the size of a letter box so they can pack more in. I can crawl through a tiny gap to save touching somebody's car but I think some people are dim and some are spiteful.

Thanks for the concern mate

These car park spaces are stupid, aren't they! When I remember, I now park well away from the entrance area where thye tend to be a little less crowded.

Maybe you should take out this Direct Line insurance for a year and use their "no excess vandalism" policy to get it sorted.

[anchorman]

Wifey is instructed to park well away from the crowds but to be honest the sheep syndrome seems to apply in most places. I could park in the Sahara Desert and when I grt back there is a beat up old Land Rover glued to each side!!!

We went to John Lewis at Handforth Dean where you struggle to fing a pigeon hole to park in (Stew will know it) last week and I rather fancy the bloke who did it was sat in his car eating butties when I got back to the RAV. It seemed to line up with his back doors and I can't think where else it was done.

No matter as they say (somewhere!).

Its only a car.

PS I hope his butties had e-coli.

Do what I've started doing & park in the middle of 2 bays if they're going to be incosiderate and dent my car then I'll park like a cnut!!

I can't deny that if I feel the width of the bays are inadequate, I make no real attempt to 'park prettily'. Nicely placed at an 15 Deg Angle often does the trick of keeping doors away :)

Think I may stick the towbar ball on again to protect the rear!

Dropped of my Daughter this morning in local Tesco Carpark as we where meeting here friends there as she was going sailing. Parked at furthest point in almost empty carpark at 07:30 this morning.... on waiting 10 minutes or so...few cars came in then two dirty old pickups decided to park near me.. then some more old people decided there join in as well parking their nissan near as well... then just as friends car came into car park.......yep you guessed it beaten up old LR decided the free spot next to my RAV would be an ideal location to leave his jalopy.. :o :o :o at that point I decided a break for freedom was needed and moved off out the way....

Think I had a lucky escape ;) ;) ;)

But as you had your daughter with you couldnt you have used the wider, parent +child bays, when i take my 80 yr old mum with me i use them, after all we are still parent+child, Incidently, quote..(some more old people decided to join in) I am hoping to become one my self in the not to distant future

I have just asked my doctor for 1/4 viagra tablets, he said that amount won't improve your sex life, I know but it might stop me pee-ing on my shoes

[Hoovie]

Well, I added my own self-inflicted damage today :(

Lovely scratch from sunroof to windscreen

:o :o :o Hoovie at this point we should laugh.....but feel for ya mate.....so I'll just have one

[anchorman]

My mate used to go through parcel shelves like shelling peas. They were left standing against walls in several parts of the country! He once left his brief case and overnight bag at the side of his car in Milton Keyes, got distracted by the phone and drove to Swindon, remebered and drove back to Milton keynes and they were still exactly where he left them in the Holiday Inn car park.

But if you think that is luck listen to this.

I used to have a Toyota carina II. We once went to a Shell Beach which I think was on Anglesey. We went to the beach with the kids and held there hands while jumping waves etc. Later we walked about a mile and collected shells for taking home. When I got back to the car - no key. I weighed up which window would be the cheapest to break but then hesitated because I didn't fancy pulling the steering column to bits to hotwire it (no imobiliser in those days). I went back a mile or so to where I thought we had been playing with the kids but it was difficult because the tide was coming in. I stood looking out into the sea and just ran out to what was now waist high, bent down and picked my keys up. I couldn't see them I just guessed.

Spooky or what?

Very!

[Nightstalker]

Hi all...

sorry to hear about your damages self inflicted or by some :censor: :ffs: :censor: !

I really hate it when gits put dents in cars because they cant open doors properly...

Check this out, my neighbour was faffing about with his old rust bucket and as I was closing me blinds he opened his door and bounced it of mine... :o

If me Rav didnt have the old side protectors I would have had a huge dent in my door on the passenger side However as the protection strip took the impact it bounced his door straight back at him and caught him by suprise and must have bruised his leg up sommet cronic :crutchy:

Anywho I aint seen him for a while so guess hes off on his hols right now with a nice bruised up leg! When he's back though I'll ask him if it hurt when his door bruised his leg up... kin t :censor: at

In regards to parking at Tescos and the like I tend to double park however when the littlens are with me/us I use the parent bays or disabled ones - Dont care if anyone complains, they should make the bays a tad wider....

Regards

Rob

I once got a parking ticket in an underground carpark, some inconsiderate parker had parked in two bays, I had to squeeze in a smaller space and one wheel was a tad ON the white line. When I got back, I had a massive big sticker on the screen, telling me about MY inconsiderate parking, of course, the other guy had long gone, took ages to peel the sticker off before I could drive it, but there was no fine B :censor: s

Anyhoo

Anybody want any side steps???

Don't suppose you'll be doing anything similar on side bars? (PZ415-X090B-ZB)

(or should that be be doing something on the side of a bar? :D At the motorshow perhaps?)
