What is the world coming to? Scum!

I remember when i used to walk past a nice car and think to myself "one day" but now it seems that pepople seem to think if I can't have one why should they? And take it upon themselves to vandalise other people's joy?

I was walking through London underground the other week (NYE) and there were some pissed up teenagers fooling around.....a few blokes who worked there looked at them and said "that's our future right there" that got me thinking  :fighting:

So sorry to hear about that mate,my BMW was parked up in the town centre and some waste of life keyed it all down one side,he must have thought he can afford to get it repaired,it cost me £650 to get it sorted and it was money I had to waste on a repair because people have the sick mentality 'that I can't have that so I ain't gonna let him enjoy it either',if I could get my hand's on them I would gladly smash there head's through my own windscreen,make's me sick. :fighting:

So sorry to hear about your car, and the sick, jealous, resentful behaviour carried out by this idiot.

We live in a sad world when people are too idle to get off their butts and earn nice things, but at the same time don't want others to enjoy the fruits of their labour.

I feel for you, I've had it done to me three times.

And had three mirrors ripped/kicked off.

It makes me sick.

Good News!!!!!!

Been locked in the dungeon with it since 7pm.

Hit it with a Rotary, Various spot pads and Menzerna Polishes.

Broke out the 2500 and 3000grit and grew a massive pair of balls.
Flatted it back as much as I dared and brought it back with polishing pads and compounds.

Good news is that it doesn't look more than a big scratch from a bush. Still not finished but I'm not 100% well so will have another go soon enough.

On the flip side I've never wet sanded more than a  paint chip before and this was a massive experience/benefit.
