I guess that is London for you.
During the last two months I have witnessed a a great big Land Rover/Jeep thing bash the front of the car and drive off. The very next day I find another another jeep with bull bars parked really close to the back of my car, I looked at my rear bumper... a dent and paint chip at bull bar level.
And just today I walk outside to find a new dent.
This one is across the bonnet and looks like a jeep/range rover reversed into the car with their spare tyre protruding at the back. I can only assume that is what happened, but it does look identical to the dent my friend got on his S2000 when the same ting happened (Jeep driver could not see him at all as the car is so low and the hood was down ).

Is it down to visability? It sometimes seems some drivers don't care when they drive these invincible tanks.

Rant over!

 

Possibly, but more likely cause they're selfish t*ats that can't be arsed to exercise due care when parking. If you can't park one of these things properly, you shouldn't be driving it!

 

you call that a rant??!! - I would be furious if I had witnessed such selfish mindless stupidity!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That makes me so angry! Plain lack of respect for other peoples property!

Part of my job involves driving all over London visiting sites for mobile cranes and the places I have left the company car (VW Golf), I am surprised it is still in one piece, and yet so far after 36000 miles in about 16 months, it doesn't have a single door-ding or scratch caused by other inconsiderate people......leads me to think that sometimes it might be down to the cars we drive and whether people get a bit green-eyed and do it deliberately sometimes.....Scoobs seem to be door-ding magents!

 

I have never had so many door dints in my life since i got this Scoob.
I really believe they are jealous w4nkers who do it on purpose.
I can park mine miles away in one end of a carpark, and still get a dint in my door.
It is jealousy pure and simple.

 

Now that you mention it, out of all the cars I have owned I have never had the problem I have had with this one. Perhaps you are right with the jealous thing. It never even occured to me that people would be so selfish and evil

The only other time it has happened to me was two days before I part exchanged my last car and someone reversed into me breaking my licence plate and cracking my bumper. Luckily someone saw and popped a note under my windshield saying they would be a witness giving full details of the driver and car There are a few good people out there still!

 

I think they'd care at forking out for 4 new tyres at well over £100 a corner and the inconvienience

Tit for tat I say!

With a kind note saying words like "if you took more respect of other people's property (cars) and didn't bash them whilst parking, then you wouldn't be in this situation....have a nice day "

 

Well after having the P1 resprayed, some old geezer in a Corolla - swung his door open - hit the front wing and made an apologetic face.

I got out, went to the side of his car, kicked his front wing in, i smiled walked back to my car and drove off.

Now i see him he parks 10 yards away.

 

Nice one, your far too easy going

 

nice one although you sound like a **** to me.

shame he didnt get you done for criminal damage.

 

LOL ya git! im not a **** i just dont think an apologetic face makes up for the damage. People are just ignorant to others property

 

Good for you sosobad,

I wish I had the ***** to do that

 

I can assure you its a Birmingham thing aswell. Just had to have a new skin on one of my doors 'cos of all the dinks (plus one big one) 500 notes, cheers!

It happens so much with Imprezas not just 'cos of the jealousy thing, but because of the thickness of the go-faster metal and lack of a rubber rand. Another method of getting rid of yer dinks is just don't get into the habit of looking for them every time you pass your beloved car.
