Well, that's what has been carved into the flank of my rangie anyway. What drives people to do this? It's a 17 year old range rover. Worth less than a grand. And yet someone thinks it would be fun to get their car key out and carve those 5 letters down one side AND break into the boot via the dodgey tailgate and steal my sub. Part of me wishes so much i'd caught them at it.
Worse still was seeing that the brand new RR sport parked further down the road has received a much more severe treatment. W R O N G carved into every panel.
So angry...

rsWas somewhat abusively harrangued (shouted at nastily for those of you who went to state school) in London last week, driving the Rangie (L322 V8). The general gist of it seemed to be something about me killing kittens, small children, forests and fish by being selfish enough to drive it. Was in a fairly knarked mood already, so wound down the window:
"Do you see the tide mark on the side of the car sir?"
"*** * * * * * ****** ** * * * * * ******* you're evil **** * * * * * * ******* selfish * * *** *** *** bet you vote tory ** ** * "
"Yes as I happens I do vote Tory, however, this tide mark is something you will find resulted from me living outside of your borders - across the Great Divide that you call the 'M25'..."
"evil *** ** * **** *** * * * nasty person *** *** ** * **** selfish *** *** * * * *"
"Well quite, however, during the april showers that your beloved global warming bequeathed us in the mytical Avalon called 'The Countryside' my five month old son, whom I am clearly dooming to an early death, was saved from dehydration and starvation by this very vehicle which you defame."
"dont give a **** hope he rots ** ** ***** *** you're killing him anyway *** ** *******"
"Ah well, you should see the other V8s on my drive.... d'you know, I think I'll buy another one!"
There's just no telling some people... and it's loons like that which make me inclined to fill my drive with gas guzzlers as quickly as possible before what is now a pariah becomes utterly untenable. We need a new motorway hack... currently looking at new-shape XJR or A8 W12.... that'll show 'em!

someone whinged at me about me G4 110 the other day not being very economical/footprint somhting - my reply was that it was a darn sight better than my 4x4 Porsche Turbo, infact twice the mpg so they should celebrate and thank me that I choese that dat to drive the G4 and not the Porsche and am slowing down climate change.
they didnt get it.

That’s not nice at all. I’m glad I’ve never had this happen to me yet. The thing I would find most strange about this is I very nearly brought an Alfa 147 GTA instead of my defender. That would have done much worse MPG used more tyres and no one would say anything to me. My dad has an SL 55 AMG, no one has ever said anything to him, but he gats about 20MPG. All very odd, the anti’s don’t have a commonsense brain.

what sort of area was it parked in at the time,
I know it makes no odds unless you wandered into some new-age peace camp in error,
just curious if it was day/night busy/quiet

Jesmond in Newcastle upon Tyne - one of the nicest parts of Newcastle. I think that's why the keying of 4x4s etc is so prevalent in this area. i presume it was done at night, the car was just parked on the road.what sort of area was it parked in at the time,

Not so bothered about getting my car repaired - i've put enough dents and scratches in it myself! But if I was the owner of the RR Sport i'd be apoplectic.
Safe to say, the GT3 lives in the garage.
I agree with one of the above posters though. If we catch someone at it we should be allowed to write on their property as they do on ours. i vote for tattooing IDIOT on their foreheads. Over time it would mean that all idiots could be easily identified from afar and henceforth avoided / aimed at depending on your mode of transport at the time.
