parked up this morning whilst the wife went into the paper shop, some poor old dear pulls up behind me then decides to pull around me into a space in front of me & closer to the shop door. but as she pulls in she scraped down the side of my front bumper. she got out of her car as though nothing had happened. i confronted her to ask "what did think you are doing you have just run into me" the answer came back "sorry dear i,m deaf"
on showing her the damage caused she said oh its nothing i,ll repair it myself for you. before i could do anything she then proceeded to spit on hand and vigourously rub the damaged area trying to get rid of the scuff marks. i finally got her name & telephone number and rang her as soon as i saw the extent of the damage, however i got her daughter in law who said her husband wanted to inspect the damage for himself. i was paid a visit tonight by the husband who attempted to get his mother off the hook. he asked how did i know it was his mother who had done it? simple i replied i was sat in the car at the time. the best was yet to come he said there was a crease in his mothers rear door & wheel arch at 10 1/2" above the ground what could have caused such damage? try measuring to the tear drop on the side of my bumper, which has had the paint taken off it, guess what 10 1/2"!!
he had to admit defeat and agreed to pay for the repairs.

At least you were in the car and logged everything right.
Can't believe the old codger tried to get away with it!!
Bloomin' cheek imho.
Hope the beast looks all sparkly n stuff very soon!

it's such a shame that old people use their age as an excuse, can't believe she tried to get off the hook and then the responsible son steps in to mop up the mess and presumably intimidate you, it's not surprise that PisLewis is sympathising with her

CyprusScooby

old people should be banned from driving!

pslewis

This 77 year old could outdrive you any day of the week!!

pslewis the chav with 6 cockrings and no cocklink no wonder he runs on super unleaded and gets 35mpg

gotmashed

picasso

thanks mr. lewis, it seems it is true what other folks say about you.
have you invented a magic formula for t-cut that puts back paint & clearcoat in the correct order & colours? sell it on e-bay - make your fortune
i will try to post some better pics over the weekend and then look forward to an apology for ypour cynical comments!

pslewis

Yeah, right, can't wait for the pictures ...... I won't sleep for excitement

Just rub the scratch out and get on with life!!

Picasso, sorry to hear about your damage, as like has been said, you were lucky to be the witness at the time.
why? the police wouldn't do anything about this sort of event. No-one injured, minor damage, civil matter. Not even leaving the scene of an accident really
As for pslewis this coming from someone who's never posted a single picture on scoobynet! And yet claims, amongst many other things, to have a digital camera!

Come on pete, where are the pictures of your car? And what qualifications have you got to prove your a "77 y/o driver, who could outdrive someone else"?

Oh, and please try to answer sensibly pete, and not resort to abuse.
chris.

pslewis

Chris ....... now, now!!

I thought everyone had seen my picture?? I have posted it here many times - it is from my best side!!

Id take the bottle of t-cut and then stuff it up your jacksy

simo

that would **** up your fuel economy Pete

StephenPope

What an old bag!!! Lucky you saw her. Imagine if you hadn't which is what usually happens. Unfortunately, most folk do not take pride in their cars which leaves us lot feeling frustrated. I would try and T_Cut best you can as once the bumper has been re-painted, you loose that origionality. Best of luck mate. If it is any conselation, said old bag has probably shaken her head at one of us in our noisy scoobies!!!!

The old dear needs a wake up call - Just ask my son about the 80 yr old who hit him head on when she overtook a stationary car waiting to turn right - straight into his path. The impact wrote off his STi and she could have killed him. In court she said the car she overtook was parked and she didn't see him! She was given the option by the police of surrendering her licence or be prosecuted - guess what she chose! She's now back on the road for Gods sake!

Have you thought of going to a motor factors and getting some FARECLA??? Thats what the trade use and its better than tcut. But if the scuff has gone through to the primer/plastic sorry mate its a respray.

Did the 'old dear' resemble this one.....

just been up to the body repair shop - much worse than i thought. the bumper is loose on the front offside corner it has dropped about 10 mm. plus the scuff marks fully revealed since i washed the car are a bit more extensive than originally thought. hope these pics show the damage in a bit more detail.

anyway still waiting for the magical t-cut formula from pslewis. by the way is pslewis any relation to cslewis. his claims of 35mpg surely come from the land of narnia

picasso

just got the estimate back from the bodyshop - £236.00 + vat.
bit more expensive than a bottle of t-cut dont you think mr. lewis. wait a minute though they could be using your magical formula
