I don't think pavements or bollards would have prevented me driving the ****er over if someone did that to me to be honest.

 

It's a VERY good point

It could have cost me the value of my Ferrari

Because I had taken to leaving it in the garage with the roof down most of the time

For some reason I got it into my head that rodents might nest in it/ruin the interior, so I started storing it with the roof up

One week later the car was nicked and I saw the policy exclusion

Fortunately the police had photos of the wrecked car with the roof clearly up

Your only hope in that situation, is that the insurer did not make the clause sufficiently explicit, but you will almost certainly have a worrying fight on your hands

 

me too

isn't it strange that nothing ever happens to your car when you are watching it?

 

Given that it only takes 5 seconds to put up or down - I don't leave it with the roof down unless I'm very close by.

 

Buy you perversely always kind of wish something would, just so you can beat someone to a pulp as payback for everyone else's roof down stories.

I had a dream last night which must have been because of this thread. I dreamed I still had my S2000 except the paint was even more f**ked and it had a BMW Z4 front end. I dreamed I was watching telly and noticed that loads of guys had ripped off the BMW grille and badges so I went out on the rampage beating people up.

I eventually somehow ended up inside the ebay servers and found the listing where my front end was. I then walked through a door and ended up in like a literal version of ebay which is like a car auction place. I found the guy selling my front end and punched him in the forehead till he was knocked out (I used to do this as a teenager).

Then I reclaimed my front end where my Dad had somehow arranged for a red ITR DC2 to be delivered to my house for a test drive, which I discovered had steering a little more numb than the S2000's and an engine like the 111R's.

 

Some little "ass pipe" threw a handfull of "Tic Tac's" at me the other day as i was driving along, bloody painful!! i looked for the little pile of monkey spunk but he had done a runner. I still keep finding the little minty treats in the car from time to time.

Oh well.........

 

Its just par for the course . Other drivers are just as bad some times. Often I have been following a car (with the top down) and they thinks if funny to give their windscreen an extra long squirt to clean or decide to start throwing sweet papers (or fag ends) out of the window. Normally I just leave them looking at the rear view of an S2000 as soon as the road permits.

The world is full of scroats and it aint gonna change!

 

So what you're saying is that a little boy shook his tic-tacs at you.
