This weekend some low life decided to spray paint my Griff with a big circle on the bonnet. I was, as you can imagine pretty miffed but my Wife (bless her) managed to scrape it off with her finger nail and T-CUT it so you can't tell. I was pretty impressed. If someone does it to yours try this first, it's a lot cheaper than a respray.

console yourself with the fact that they will never come near to owning or appreciating such a great car.

I had somthing similar to that, with a happy ending

some toe rag went down the street with a can spraying the side of every car (about 15) with a line of white paint...

My chim was in the middle and it was the only car then didnt touch !!!!

unfortunaetly the wifes disco was parked behind and they did spray that....

She is great. As you can imagine I was running about moaning about the decline of society etc etc only to find that she had sorted half of it already. Unfortunately her reward was scraping the wallpaper off 4 rooms in the new house! Who said life is fair? I definately owe her a night out.

A decent Police force who are more concerned with Protecting YOUR property than raising revenue along with a CRIMINAL justice system that Punished offenders instead of those who are trying to protect your property may have also been of some assistance..

Sorry, I`ll get me coat..

Did you make her use her fingernails for scraping the wallpaper as well?

Well if there was ever a PistonHeaders wife of the month award - she'd get it.

Steady on chaps, I will be indebted to her for months at this rate.

If anyone is interested I have thought of some quite intricate punishments for car thieves/vandals/low lifes in general. They may contravene the European convention on human rights but I don't really mind that, besides they would have to prove they qualified first.

Jarel may have mentioned this already but I once took great pleasure in escorting a 15 year old into one of my barns that was two foot deep in straw and cow$hit after finding him attacking my Land Rover's lock with a screwdriver. I don't think the youth had the most comfortable day of his life shovelling muck but it saved involving the police and hopefully taught him a lesson (the person involved now runs a succesful gardening business-but I don't think I can claim to have turned his life around ) Unfortunately you'd get locked up if you tried that these days.
My M5 obviously says "trash me" to the pond life of Nottingham as it has had every form of vandal damage you could imagine in the last year.

Yours, Jon Dokic

I was in Nottingham for a weekend last year and had nothing but positive comments about my Chimaera from the populace ( including a dozen or so very drunk lads who staggered past it ) and I didn`t wait more than 30 seconds before I was let out at junctions too..

Must be a BMW thing, as when I came out of McDonalds one evening a very High IQ`d (I`m sure) gentleman felt that the Sauce he had would look much better on my car..(That was in Essex)
