Good news, bad news...

Good news:

Three more tourists taking pictures of the old girl today and a kid filming me drive past on his mobile. I shall be searching YouTube for the footage tomorrow!

Bad news:

Some drunk fooking CT thought it would be funny to throw his whole body onto the bonnet of my car and put his feet... his FING FEET on the window while I was stopped at traffic lights! What absolute bellend is so plastered at 1pm in the afternoon anyway??? Luckily no damage to the paintwork.

Good news:

Managed to get the back end out on a roundabout today. Bit of a brown trousers moment but lots of fun! Really need to go on one of those advanced driving days!

Bad news:

Must have spent about £200 on petrol in 3 days! Plus something strange was happening with my brake pedal but seems to be ok now. It wasn't 'clicking' off when I released the pedal, so the brake lights were staying on until I kinda pulled the pedal forwards. Anyone have any ideas?

Still lovin it though..!

What speed were you doing when you finaly through the bum off ?

I had a problem with my throttle sticking on a bit. Turned out to be the pivot bar bushings of the throttle pedal being a bit corroded and stiff due to lack of use (standing in the showroom).
Dont know if the brake can have the same problem.

[Whitey]

there is a switch behind the brake pedal assembly that needs adjusted.

How did you get the scum off the bonnet/windscreen of your car? Acceleration, violence or use the windscreen wipers?

You must have been livid! Where did it happen?

[m3coupe]

I hope you "accidentally" made the scum hurt himself when the idiot got off your car. Not saying it's a good idea to use violence but you were in fear of your safety and used the accelerator to leave and he fell off. Honest officer!

I'm a cop and i'd believe you, lol!

[BigJL]

Ok, this is getting beyond a joke now! AGAIN, today I was driving through Camden and two drunk idiots came up to the car while I was stuck in traffic and decided to drape themselves over the bonnet! What is going on?! Why is my car a drunk magnet?!

This time I started to drive away and they sort of fell off Yesterday I was actually too shocked to do anything and he just got off. Had a closer inspection of the bonnet today though and the scrote has chipped a tiny bit of paint from the top lip of the upper bonnet probably with his foot and there's a scratch on the door where he fell into it. ARGGGH!! BARSTEWARD!!!

Thanks for the advice about the brake pedal Whitey. It seems to be alright now, but I'll have a look at the bolt to adjust it. The first scum on the car was just by Leicester Square..!

Cheers lads,

I know! Twice in 2 bleeding days! I just don't get it - how can people be so disrespectful? I'm seriously pissed off about the damage caused by the first guy. You should have seen this idiot... actually rolling across the car and putting his FEET on it! Can't believe I didn't smack the st out of him...

Thing is, what can you actually do about things like this? I could have got out, thrown him off and/or hit him but then I'd probably be done for assault. Although I could probably get away with it if I was restraining him from causing damage to property and I'm thinking he could have been dangerous - so I'd only be using reasonable force!?

Next time I really don't think I'll be so restrained...

Hitting folk, no matter how appealing or just you think it is only gets you in trouble, either with the law or the 3 or 4 big mates they are with that you never noticed initially.

Get them back in a different way, it's always more satisfying.

[Legend83]

Just remember, however frustrating the damage is, that when all is said and done, you are the guy who gets to drive that fantastic car whenever you want, you are the guy who has worked hard to buy the car of your dreams - the twunt who jumped on you is probably an alcoholic, dole-snatching, drug-fiend who will die a horrible, horrible death.

Feel better now?

[BigJL]

LOL, actually yeah... I do now! Thanks!
