Merry Christmas to me...

[Yanayaya]

Came home from dinner with the misses last night, went in the house, was in for about 20 minutes came back out to this:



Out of my entire street it was just my car that got done. Can't wait to move....

[KB_S1]

Vandalism rather than accident I take it?

[Yanayaya]

Indeed. Pavement side.

[SystemParanoia]

those cav turbos are thin on the ground now

mostly killed of by people ripping the engines out to stick in nova's and corsas lol

oh.. and the others so they can do 5 stud conversions..

[wav8]

Sad people who get kicks out of this

[OlberJ]

It's funny you mention that. I am moving house this coming year I hope and although this sort of damage has occured I do have a pair of new mirrors with casings etc etc but I refuse to put them on until I move.

[GilesGuthrie]

Sympathies mate. It's sights like this that make me so glad I have sufficient off-street parking.

[SystemParanoia]

does your centre diff still work?

have you modified it in someway to be more reliable? maybe a haldex conversion or something like that ?

or have you just religiously stuck to the old rotate tyres every 1000 miles to keep wear even, and only ever replace

[Ian974]

Not good, had that on my street year or two back, but 10 or so cars including mine got mirrors kicked off one evening. Thankfully a cheap fix for me.
I just don't understand why. Even when folk say the jealousy thing, what does smashing a wing mirror achieve?

[BorkFactor]

Very sorry to see that

Lovely car as well!

Yeah my transfer box still works and I am using the original system. I know a chap that makes the locked box kits for them which I want to install in the new year.

I think it's because they see it as something they don't have and it's easier to upset your day than to just leave it alone.

Looks like just the glass that's broken, that should all push back into place, then replace the mirror, still pretty poor having to do it though.

Bloody clifton minks! I hear one of the houses was on fire last night?

All the casing etc is busted up. Fixing isn't hard but it's money out of my pocket.

Really? I did see police and fire engines at the top of Anderson avenue.
