It finally happened. Went to the local ASDA and when I came out my windscreen had a parially fried egg on display (it was a sunny day).
I've had carrots thrown whilst driving through town and someone scratched it with bad grammer.... wonder what's next?

I never like pulling along side buses incase some silly p**ck decides to throw a seat down on my head,never happened to me but i have seen it happen to some one else, my local jaguar specialist bought his self a brand new elise had it a day when some w***er threw a bag of chips and an icecream in to it, he never did get the marks out of the alcantara.
Seriously, if I caught someone doing that to my car I would lose it and blood would defiantly be spilt. Even if it wasn't my car I would have STRONG words. TVR's are generaly 'working people cars' (Isn't that Volkswagen in German? 
) and I know how hard a lot of us have to work to buy and run one of these...
Makes me MAD.

I had a prawn curry poured over the windscreen and into the radiator once. Huge great king prawns by the look of them. I never did manage to wash out the smell and ended up having to change the radiator to solve the problem.
It was especially bad as the smell of fish etc turns my stomach at the best of times !

Luckily, so far, the worst I've had is someone gobbing on the car... thanks to AutoGlym products it just came off with a glass of water.
Worse still was my friend who had someone spray some sort of flammable oil onto the engine of his Ferrari. Went to go for a spin in it and the engine bay started smoking very badly (luckily almost as soon as he started it). Thought it was something wrong with the engine so got a dealer to look at it and confirmed that the engine was OK... he's no clue as to who the moron is, but whoever you are you're very sad... had it not started smoking as soon as the engine was started we hate to think what could have happened.

It has to be said that certain cars give off the impression of rich arrogance, which alot of the general public are extremely envious of (sad bastards!). I would not say that TVR is typically one of those manufacturers, but the Tuscan is easily the most exotic looking car of the range. I would be surprised if griff or chimaera owners have had problems like this.
Makes me puke!

Flying rats (seagulls) I can put up with. But some prat spat at the car yesterday, It was parked outside my local and I was watching, he missed, and dribbled down his shirt. His girlfriend pulled him away..
Muppet.
As I walked along Queens Road one night towards my merc I saw a drunk student kick the door (near the student union building). As he walked past me I decked him and pointed out to his mates that the residents of Clifton don't take too kindly to mindless vandelism. They shat themselves and dragged their somewhat disorientated mate off. I then carried along the road walking past the car, so they didn't realise it was my car.
Luckly the prat was wearing trainers so the marks on the door came out with a bit of elbow grease.
Nice to know that he would've woke up with a sore head the following morning.

Like it! Any more stories of vigilantism? I was in Leamington about 6 months ago and this drunk 20 year old comes wobbling out of a pub and is obviously peed off about something. He starts kicking every car down the road and eventually reaches one which he is literally trying to break the window of via flying kicks. There's loads of people around and a group of 5 or so guys (including a couple of bouncers) just set upon him and taught him a lesson. Heh heh!

By the way Daz, I use to live on Queens Road when I was doing my PhD. Where do you normally drink? How's the Porsche?
The Richmond Springs in Gordon Road next to the Students union building. The landlord is a mate of mine and I used to go to school locally so still have friends in the area.
The Porsche is great, it's going on holiday on friday for 48 hours, gently touring the german countryside around the village of Nurburg!

Splendid fellow.
They're all back now, which means all the pubs on whiteladies will be rammed
..and none of the girls will be virgins..
Yes the place will get a little more lively in the next three weeks but the parking will revert to being a bitch. At the moment I can always park within 50 yards of the pub.
