Bah! First vandalism on my car.

[Harji]

Some scrote put a traffic cone on my car last night, I saw it (I always give the car a sneaky peek before I go to bed) and removed it. This morning I noticed the scratces on the bonnet where the cone was. About 20 scratches, I removed some with T-CUT scratch remover, but some I can feel with my fingernail, looks like a bonnet respray to me.

Barstewards, still, it's not on par with my previous car, Golf GTI, which had been keyed a couple of times and was used for spare parts by other scrotes.

Guessing it's an RX8 from your car list.

Appear to have very soft paint so no surprises it's scratched the paint.

Doubly so if it's Brilliant Black. Really difficult to keep on top of that colour.

yes it is an RX-8, it's so annoying, booked it in on the Chipsaway, who happens to be on my road. I hope I won't be needing him again!
Only going there as he seems to have a mountain of cars waiting, so he can't be too bad, I suspect some dealers are sending cars to him.

So you live on the same road as a Chipsaway guy and suffer vandalism that requires a Chipsaway guy eh?

Where's Poirot when you need him?

Last heard taking a southbound express train to join up with a cruise along an Egyptian river.

What area of London? I'm guessing West or East, mainly because i'm a postcode snob.

Judging by the name (Harjinder Khalsi) he is a Sikh, I guess he is in West London.

Funnily enough the only other person I knew who had an RX-8 said it was a source of regular vandalism and neglectful parking by other people (door dings, scrapes) ... and his was black as well!

Impressive, but no 'H' in my surname.

Good for you.

By the way, sorry to hear about your car.

A lot of Jap cars seem to have very thin paint work.

My RX-8 has paint about as thick as skimmed milk. It marks so unbelievably easy.
