I havnt been anywhere except down to the tip and only noticed this when I got back. I can only assume somoene has brushed my car when I was parked near the junction as there is never any space outside my house.

Im starting to really get sick and tired of cars now :(

Tell me about it. Between the better half getting back ended, the exhaust falling off, and the garage messing up and the wheel falling off along with a million and one other small things Im sick of the damn things now.

that sucks  :(


Is that another shade of blue on there or is it where your paintwork has been stripped down a bit?

The car is dirty so its hard to tell, but that is where it has been rubbed/stripped down I think.

The bumper was fine before, no blemishes. :disappointed:

I see your lightly scuffed bumper, and raise you this.

Some fudgepacker did that on Feb 13th, and left no note.

This is partly the reason i drive a Y plate Mondeo, i sold a 307 to buy a mondeo, i saved myself a packet which i spent on other stuff, and my car is seldom vandalised, and if it gets dirty i dont need to clean it, its a mondeo its meant to look sh*t :P

I am glad I am driving an old clonker, it doesnt matter if it gets a few scrtches as long as it only wants half a liter diesel per mile  :)

Similar, but in my case the W-Reg Veccy.  It gets ignored by vandals, but next doors Leon K1 has been keyed twice since he got it!

Ive given up getting stressed at by bumpers getting marked, parking in Paris on a frequent basis it is an inevitability.

One thing I learnt over there was that if you leave even an inch of your car in the road, and not completely on the path/in a bay.   It will get dinged.

Quite amazing.

That sucks guys.

A guy at work is looking to pass his test soon, hes 23 and he wants to spend like £3000 on a new car.

Me and my older colleague keep telling him to buy a banger for atleast the 1st 6 months as itll make much more sense as youll bang and scrap the car off walls, other cars and hopefully not people.

Indeed, theres far too many liabilities on the road to have a new car these days, IMO.

but its worth half the price now and hes spent money on servicing etc. The only car Id buy new is a special one, like a bentley if I had the dosh or a lambo as if I had that sort of cash I really wouldnt care about depreciation

Under £6k for a Fiat Panda (new style) with a 3 year warrantee, so depreciation diesnt really matter that much. £35 road tax.

Considering what some peoples cars cost them its damn cheap.
