I think you need to make him appreciate true automotive greatness, educate him.

Fire the beast up, pop the bonnet and show him the awesome power plant, describe how things work. press his hand on to the manifold to show how hot engines get then shove his face in to the fan to show how when it gets really hot the fan kick in to cool things down again.

He is obviously hitting out at the way the system has let him down.
He perhaps needs more friends to spend time with.
So with that in mind can i suggest you embrace the poor lost soul, take him for a ride in your pride and joy as a good friend would.
Bring him to my place and we could all spend some quality time with my friends Messer’s Black & Decker, and Spear & Jackson.
He could then return home a changed person.
In the US of A I'm sure someone would be happy to bring along Messrs. Smith and Wesson.

The above suggestion would clearly enhance his opportunity to secure mobility benefits in the future. Perhaps that would also enable him to learn more about classic fibreglass, courtesy of those people of Cobra legend wink

Thanks chaps, I spent an hour I didn't have on it this morning.

Four grades of wet & dry followed by three grades of cutting compound all by hand as I no longer have a machine polisher.

But as Mark pointed out thems some deep scratches mad

Here's the best I could do in an hour of sweat & tears,



The thing is I've got a good idea who it was, every neighborhood has a little fekker & ours is "Ginger Kid".

"Ginger Kid" is getting a visit later loser

You can't do any more than nature has already done. Chalk it down to experience, and laugh at his affliction whilst pointing.

I'm sorry to see that Dave.

As for the kid, best thing to do is wait a while until he starts getting his benefits. He'll eventually purchase a big bore Saxo. Then key it yourself!

Put his b***8cks in the vice then give him the hacksaw and set fire to shed. The fekker wont be able to breed any more little fekkers then. Or you put "stuck in the middle with you on" tie the fekker to a chair and get the razor out.....

You lot on the Chim forum are such a nice bunch.

You have a shed, does it have main power in said shed?

If then wire his soft fleshy parts to the mains and leave for a day or so, on returning turn the mains off, there by allowing the fear of you turning it back on to build and then remove part of him and return to his parents, turn the mains back on again, return and repeat every few hours.

Its much cheaper, and easier to move ginger kid. no one will miss him, well not for long.
A few posters may go up, just like when a kid losses a cat. But when the posters get wet and the ink runs no-one will be bothered any more.

Sorry to hear of your problems,
Might I suggest a sledge hammer, assorted clamps, a vice,(I was going to say large but that probably wouldn't be necessary!) and loads of sound insulation. Then when finished (or run out of energy), stringing the little tt upside down from a nearby lamp post as a deterrent to the other scum in the area!

Either they're uneducated scum and it's just "what they do", or, the jealousy of seeing what they could've had, if their parents had given them the time of day and raised them properly, has just tipped them.

This happened to me twice (same car) a few years back; in the end I sold the car and got a cheap run around.

Bloody winds me up this does. Hope you get it sorted and hope the little scrote doesn't return.

Dave,

If I caught somebody doing that to my car I just know it would end up in a prison sentence for me so in a way I hope you never catch somebody doing this to your car.....

I can't say anymore about the type of tt that would do this other than has been said previously on the thread.

Best of luck.
