Porsche Cayman plus chav's and bricks = owww
Discussion
Bit of a rant...
Some little buggers, decided it would be funny to throw a brick at my cayman as I was driving out of manchester late saturday night. Fortunatly the said scum couldn't throw very well, as they only managed to smash the front grill (below the number plate). This gril is now ruined, and has left a pretty deep cut in the bodywork just below the number plate.
When all's said and done, I'm pretty lucky it didnt hit the window, or the bonnet, and bounce up and over. Even so, hacks me off that the police (whom were there in two mins) can do nothing. no compensation, no catching them, nothing. So I have to fork out for respray on the nose, and a new grill thanks to a group of kids being bored.
As a side note, I'd just got the wheels sprayed black, and with the yellow bodywork, it was looking fab.
NB. The car understeers pretty heavily without that front grill on... Beware!!!

As frustrating as it may be, the police wont be able to catch them unless there is some way of identifying them, CCTV, or if you could posively ID them, or wotnesses coming forward etc.
I would personally want to send these kids to a camp, make them work on a points system to earn possessions, and when they have worked and slaved away and earned some possessions, I'd come along and either steal it, damage it, or destroy it, followed by destroying them!!!
Scum
Edit: And the police cant offer compensation,firstly its not their resposibility to offer compensation to victims of crime and imagine how many people would suddenly say "Oh yes and my car has been damaged"

Sterilisation at birth for all second generation Chav's is the only way to prevent further infestation of these vile sub-human life forms ....
We need more like you in positions of power...In UK we are, on average, caught on cctv 300 times a day but these scum bags weren't...cameras in the wrong place me thinks. How about moving some from the bus lanes to the dodgier bits of town to catch criminals....

Running them over is the answer. "I was being attacked and was in fear of my life as they surrounded my car officer"I would personally want to send these kids to a camp, make them work on a points system to earn possessions, and when they have worked and slaved away and earned some possessions, I'd come along and either steal it, damage it, or destroy it, followed by destroying them!!!

The harder the majority of people work, the more bitterness they have towards the hoards of reprebates who commit acts of vandalism on our homes and posessions.
They are the bottom feeders of society who give nothing. There is no contribution in terms social responsibility or taxes .... they are just feeding from others for their own gain (theft) or for 'fun' (vandalism).

How does this sound to everyone for pricing...
To look at my grill.. no work, just look. £117 (they have to perform a vehicle inspection for legal reasons)
Another hour to remove bumper and fit the grill. £117.
New brake pads, 1hr labour £117, plus brake pads....
Total cost £570.. But they discounted to £450. What are everyone's thoughts?? Seems steep to me. I've signed, but not paid. I just think it seems ridiculous.

I cannot let this go without criticism:They are the bottom feeders of society who give nothing. There is no contribution in terms social responsibility or taxes .... they are just feeding from others for their own gain (theft) or for 'fun' (vandalism).
It's reprobates, not reprebates.

I agree - looks like you're victim to another crime - daylight robbery!To look at my grill.. no work, just look. £117 (they have to perform a vehicle inspection for legal reasons)

Hmmm the garage I work at and other garages and bodyshops I talk to and deal with have no such charge for just looking at some damage so £117 to just inspect it is stupid.
Phone up any bodyshop or repairers and they'll quote or estimate for free.
Porsche tax. Tell them to get stuffed. If its just a grill then its a bolt on part that any respectable repairers can do. It may be a porsche but its no different to any other car.
If its an OPC you're dealing with then they're just taking advantage of most of their customers wealth and exploiting it. "yes sir we at porsche only do thing byb the book in a manner expected by the refined porsche owner and deserved by the vehicle in question" translated "you must have money so we'll bullshit you into giving us as much as poss!"

Umm hmmm. I'm not impressed at all with this dealer.
Also as an aside, they refitted the black plastic grill, and its all scratched. They didn't think to replace it whilst taking the bumper off. I'm amazed.
To top it off... apparantly chaps, the GT2 997 is already out, and some guy they know has 2. He also has 3 996 GT3 RS's (cause you would), cayenne turbo for the mrs, 2 968's, and 2 996 cup cars. And the GT3 RS 997 hasn't been released yet...
I said, I'm pretty sure the RS is out now, "no its not, sir".
A main porsche dealer... This is second time they been totally useless, and there last chance with me.
Bolton OPC for me from now on. They been brill, every time I've had to call in.
