Hi all.
Your old friend xjay here.
Hope everyone is going well. smile.gif I do read these forums still.. haha. It's funny at times. Glad the meet seemed to make it a more pleasant place.
I have a valid rant for today.


My car was keyed very deeply by some ****.

No idea who or why. dunno if it was targetted or random. I was parked on the drive at my Mothers' house as I was in the middle of a house move from my old house, to a new place with my better half. My Mother's house is in a good area, down a cul-de-sac which is in a quite estate.
I fortunately have spare money to get this repaired but that money was budgeted for a new set of wheels (1st world problems) but it was a very bad time in terms of stress due to the house move and only having recently started a new job as well.

Pics as below.

The whole bonnet needs respraying as does the front wing and both doors.








I think it's a shambles that I am now worried about my car and where I park it, and whether it was a one-off act of vandalism or a sort of act against me.
The cost to repair is £450 (and even that is mates-rates), at full whack this would be around £600-£700. Basically the bonnet needs a full respray as does the front wing, rear passenger door and blending with the drivers door, bumper and the front wing on the opposite side of the car.

I am now concerned that yet more vandalism is to come after getting the paint repaired. My car is a show car (albiet used daily) and is a very large part of my life and takes a big chunk of my disposable income, and is a large part of my memories in terms of going places.
To the parents out there it's comparable to your child and how would you like it, if someone randomly came up to your child and punched them (really hard) in the face?

I would love to know who did it and more importantly why. Think it's funny? Well you can pay the bill.
