Default Why why why !

The Scooby has a door ding

Luckily it hasn't dented the door (I don't think) but it has left a white mark; not sure if it's my "undercoat" or it was a white car that did it, I'll try working on it tomorrow.

But the point is, whoever did it took enough time to lick their finger and wipe away the dirt to see whether they'd damaged the car or not. Obviously saw that they had, and didn't think that was worth leaving a note.

Why on earth bother wiping away the dirty to check, if you have no intention of doing anything about it !


THEN I parked up the Scoob later in the day, and got into another car. As I was sitting in the other car sorting out seat belts etc., some random blokes walked pas tthe Scoob. They felt the need to bend down and stroke my tyres, and comment in very loud voices about how the tyres were "illegal" and "shocking" with lots of tut tutting.

FFS the tyres are perfectly fine !!!

People are SO odd !

You must rethink your parking attitude, worth the effort.

I can see that now....

'ooooh, they are illegal, so naughty, so bald and naughty'

'I'm going to have to teach them a lesson as they are so naughty and illegal - ooooh naughty tyres, smack, you naughty illegal tyres you'

Yes, you're all a bunch of nuts of the C variety.

I really feel there is going to be a backlash against high CO2/fast performance cars very soon.

You might have a point

Whereas its all the other selfish ****s driving polluting pos's who don't give a poo about cars and simply put up with them as a means to get from a to b. They should all be walking/hybrid/lpg/bike/bus/train.

Us lot who drive because we enjoy it and like cars are not the selfish ones.

Got back to the carpark today to see everone's nightmare - a 4x4 with both doors flung open on my side with a mother attempting to strap a troublesome child into the childseat in the back.

Raining too hard to check but I think it's ok hew:

Ahhh but if there had been available parent/child spaces then this 4x4 might've parked in it and thereby saving any potential damage to my doors........

I loathe the idea parent/child spaces.

Why do they get special treatment

Don't say it's because it saves the rest of us.

Car park spaces seemed to have been designed and not updated since the 1960's.

Next they'll be parent/child check out tills-because that'll get the inconsiderate mother/child combination out of our faces asap.
