If you look along the flanks of my Scoob, it's like it's been parked on a golf driving range. It's like Dent Street in Dingville. Need to get it sorted at some point but it's another thing on a growing list of things I need (want) to do. ARB's and suspension need replacing first as they are getting a tad old and slack.

Although, I can see the theory of halving the chance that they'll pick yours.

I'm the same at work, but sometimes I don't know why I bother. New scratches appear all the time. I think it's caused by people getting their keys out of their pocket and walking between the cars with them by their side - only the slightest of glances with the key but it still leaves a mark.

one thing that causes that is if your car is dirty and someone slides past it - it causes fine lines in your clear coat - you will notice them in the sun - can be easly taken out though - good thing to have is my alarm as when someone gets close it beeps and scares the sh*t out of people - best one was when I went to the doctors some old dear walked past - "BEEEEEPPPPPP" she nearly had a heart attack

And Lockerbie is only 15 miles away from my alltime favourite road - the A701 from Moffat to Penicuik.

I was practically brought up on this road as my dad used to be a sales rep for a mill near stirling. He would drop us off with my relatives in Edinburgh and travel on to stirling. For a while we were doing this on a weekly basis, so I know the road like the back of my hand, despite the fact I've only ever driven it 6 times (3 each way) myself.
It's 40 miles of pure driving pleasure - I promise you!

or maybe rent a sniper - it costs a extra £2.00 ontop of the parking fee but at least you know your car would be protected - only downside would be cleaning the splattered brains off your car

Doesnt work for me either as both our cars have more dings in the side than I care to get fixed. Worse place is sainsburys, wonder why
