For those of you who read my previous post of "No need to the clean the car now", you may be interested to know that the bast'ds have been back. [:mad:]

This time it is both front wings the hood and offside headlamp.

That is terrible Marc. People should appreciate not vandalise a nice car. It always is a worry having a nice car now a days.

Mindless idiots (i want to use stronger language...)

I hope you get it sorted without to much pain, Marc.
 
I feel for you, must be the most sickening feeling finding your pride and joy vandalised time and time again.Is the car parked in a well lit area? can you not find somewhere else to store it
How sad society is today!
 
Man, this is depressing. Unless you catch the bastids you either rent a garage or sell the car - too much hassle otherwise..... One reason I don't park the car out of my sights - in fact I drive it out my garage and straight back in after the drive.

Marc,

That's really bad news, does someone have a grudge against you, or is it just that your car is too easily accessible?.

FWIW my Insurance stipulated that my car must be garaged, and that is even when we live in a closed private gated community with security gates, where no one passing could possibly see the car.

Seems that just too many of the great unwashed are jealous of our cars!!

What a sad state that the UK has come to this.

Sorry again.

Nigel.
 
Sorry to hear of this second case of mindless vandalism. These little gits (and you can just bet they are under 18) should be shipped off to Afghanistan smartish. Bring back National Service, I say!
 
Well twice you have been hit by people carrying paint stripper - now thats not the thing i normally carry around with me, so no matter what you do they obviously have some vengence. I think i'd be setting up some CCTV in conjunction with the police, even if it was a basic set up from Makro / Costco. Provided you post a sign saying there is surveillance you can collect valid evidence.
 
Thanks for the thoughts people.

AFIK, it is no grudge, just mindless vandelism.

I am looking to both put in some sort of video kit into the car, but also find a garage to rent / buy. Looking yesterday, the only buy option was £ 80,000 which is not really a goer as far as I am concerned.

Dependent on price, I will probably pay for this myself as I do have a concern at possible insurance requirements at renewal in April. The repair quote should be with me this afternoon.
 
OMG Marc. I would be in tears if that happened to my car once, never mind the twice it's happened to you. I really hope you find the a-holes that are responsible.

Have you thought about moving house?!! Or getting rid of your car. Drastic messures I know but I don't think I could stand the fact that it's happened twice and would worry myself sick every night.[:(]

Hope you get the bar stewards.

That is disgusting mate. I really feel or you. Bstards

If a garage is £80k, as sad as it seems, if it was me I would have to sell up. It is just not worth the hassle. I know some people would say it is giving in but enough is enough.

Would this sort of damage affect residual value?
 
I am certainly not going to get rid of the car, or move just because of these ricks (with a silent P). With their suspected attention span of a few seconds they will soon get bored and move on to find other ways to kill themselves.

I live in a very mixed area with both wealthy city types / entrepeneurs and those on benefits. There are a few 911s around me, a couple of Astons and a very pretty rebuilt Jensen Interceptor. All on the road and so far without issue.

I am looking for a garage though!

I have worked hard enough to get one of these with 1.5 heart attacks before aged 40 to get here and will not let these "throwers of things in the air" win! My toy and I will play with it.

I don't know about residuals, but a resprayed car to get rid of stone chips does not seem to suffer.

Good for you

Sorry to hear about this

If this was a proper country the little Sh 1 TE's would get a jolly good birching and made to repay the cost of repair, through their own labors -

No doubt if you had caught them on camera you'd be taken to court for the emotional distress caused to them by having something nice they can't afford and would promptly be sent to an overcrowded prison, while a murderer would be set free early to make room for you

The place has gone to pot [:-][:-][:-]

Hope the respray wasnt't too expensive
 
Sorry Marc, I did come over a bit pesimistic in my last post and as you say, hopefully the little neds will move on and be hit by a large truck whilst vandalising something else.

Hope you get things sorted out soon.

I felt sick the first time they did it, but angry the second time[:'(] I can guess how you feel Marc

I do worry that they are doing it with paint stripper, so totally pre meditated..[:eek:]

However as pointed out, you work hard for your pleasures in life and like you I wouldn't give it up easily.

I hope you find the scrotes before they attack again.

I'm gutted for you, it's not on that they will just get away with it and probably do it again to someone else. I hope the respray isn't too much.
Bunch of *******s.
