MANY FURIOUS ABOUT..a man parking outside his own house?

The village features in this Ford promo 12 minutes in:

For something very Partridge like it may be worth playing from 9 minutes in.

It appears someone who thinks they have more rights as a tourist than this poor chap does as a resident has finally taken exception:

Hopefully his replacement will be in an equally "interesting" colour

Pathetic people.
Wonder how they would feel if someone sat them down and actually explained what they've done.
"You've written off a old mans car because it slightly blocked your phone photo of some cottages that have been well photographed for years"

Crowdfund to buy him this van?

Article says he'll replace it with a lime green car

There we go, better?

Ah yeah I read this earlier, such a shame.
Hopefully he does get something more extreme!

My hero.

[dandarez]

I've seen that several times on my way through Bibury to Cirencester. It crossed my mind once that didn't seem the right place for a youngster to live...

The owner is 82! My new hero Peter Maddox.

Brilliant, might stop off next time and have a word with him.

'Now your car is famous I'd suggest you sell it, get the national press down again letting them know, and you can bet your bottom dollar some stupid f. will pay you well over the odds for it, then you'll have a nice sum, plus enough to go and buy your 'lime green' Corsa.' 'However, this time get get a VXR so when the dopey moaning complainers arrive, drive it up and down and blipping the throttle!'

Needs a respray (Lambo Green?)

[Hoofy]

I might offer him my gold MGF for the summer months.

[Rude-boy]

I have a Speed Yellow 968CS that i am not planning on using this year whilst i have the engine rebuilt so could offer him that...

Sounds too nice to be scratched. Mine already has scratches because some fish mitten can't park in Sainsbury's.

[Moonhawk]

There - fixed - no more yellow car

[BaronVonVaderham]

Can we crowd fund the repairs/replacement and a CCTV setup to prevent further instances?

Or buy him a new bargain basement car every time the old one fails its MOT (or dies) or gets vandalised.

[caelite]

Surly Vauxhall is missing an opportunity to give him a liveried, Illuminous, car as a replacement, would make for some hilarious PR, especially if it was one of the range toppers.

A bright yellow Maloo, this man needs a bright yellow maloo, with some for of lawdy aftermarket exhaust system.

I'd chip in. What sort of sanctimonious prick thinks it's OK to bully an 82 year old man over his choice of car?!

[MarkRSi]

As I said earlier - top trolling by the Corsa owner

However... what I don't get is that the sort of person that enjoys looking at old boring houses etc. is the same sort of person who would resort to yobbish vandalism Moan and complain yes, but vandalism?

[Prohibiting]

As mentioned by someone else, this could be a great marketing for Vauxhall. They should give him a top spec like green Corsa VXR .

[Gandahar]

You are being far too nice to him. I bet he has quite a lot of money and he ends up buying a bright yellow 1.2 Corsa on 19 inch wheels. Sorry, but that is just about the worst PH crime ever, and yet you are all giving him the benefit of the doubt. No. If it had been a bright red Fiat 100hp, or a ultra violet Suzuki Swift or even a gold Nissan Micra with a GTR engine it it, then fair does.

But no. It's a bright yellow Corsa on 19 inch wheels with 27bhp. That's why people are complaining.

Also, I'd like to point out that although nothing can be done with those oversized wheels there is such a thing as wrapping your car nowadays. Hence this



You can't beat stone cladding. The first ever grade II listed corsa. Sweeet

Finally, one dreads to think what would happen if he washed and hung out his orange trousers in the village

I'm looking forward to the DM update when the chap takes delivery of his new car.

Could be one of these
