The only upside is that we were in the barge...

I would like to wish a special merry Christmas to whoever ran their white car/van down the nearside rear quarter of the alfa. May the evil goblins steal all your presents.



I know it's a worthless old Alfa with 126K on the clock and it's not cosmetically perfect. But it's not cosmetically terrible and it's *our* worthless old Alfa. And we like the old girl.

And you've just driven clean into the rear quarter, shrugged, kept going, creased the door and then buggered off.



To pre-empt the cries of "that'll T-cut", it did a bit.






Will have another go tomorrow when it's light again.

doesn't matter what the car is, what the condition is, where its parked etc etc, people have no respect for other peoples property. couple years ago, my fiance walked out of the local supermarket when she was at uni to find a car parked against hers (2004 fiesta), so left a friend with the car, went back in to ask them to get the owner to come out and move it.

The owner of the other car then came out and had a go at my mrs, saying if she could afford a new car she wouldn't park it like that.

I had this waiting for me the other Christmas:





no note, just took it on the chin.

It happens pretty infrequently but agree when it does, it is annoying.

Judging by the leaves on the trees, not for a while, at least.

had something very similar happen outside my house and I know it was one of my neighbours and still no-one has the courtesy to knock on my door. (I'm easy going and would have told them not to worry - again an old car - but FFS own up!!!!furious
