Whilst at Fosse Park today some idiot reversed into the front of my Chimaera.
I parked it well away from anything else and whoever did it must have reversed straight back from the row in front.
I've only had it back for 4 weeks after having the front resprayed and its going to need the nearside wing repairing before it can be repainted again. I am gutted!
It is supposed to be on the SBMC Stand next weekend for Dream Rides at the NEC, and in France the weekend after for the Circuit De Historique at Laon / Folembray. I just hope I can get it properly repaired in time.
I wish I could get my hands on the b***ard responsible!

Oh mate thats rough
I kind of know how you feel. An old fart reversed into my immaculate Griff only 2 weeks after I bought the thing. You could have reversed a JCB out of the space he was in. I kid you not....At least I got his details.

I assume there were'nt any security cameras covering the scene of the crime? Any possible witnesses?
My sympathies go out to you Gimlet. I'm sure the person who did this will get what is coming to them. What goes around comes around ey...

Thanks for that info: next time I'm visiting the girlfriend in Glenfield I'll make sure we take her car to Fosse Park, and not my 390.... ;-)

Sorry to hear about it though. I had a different kind of twat attack my car with a key or similar, two weeks after a total respray in pearlescent, so there was no way to hide the scratch. Bastards.

I had someone reverse over the nosecone of my Griff the night before I took it in to swap it over for my current Tuscan. Git.

I now train myself to only park at the end of streets facing "outwards", or (if I have to) park nose-to-nose with another car rather than facing the same direction.
