got up this morning
went out to the car as i was gonna give her a clean and polish
and found that some little fcuker has run a key or screwdriver
down the side of it
from the passenger door handle
to the top of the nearside front wheelarch :evil:

so bit pissed off with that went out for a drive before cleaning her

got home and noticed a big patch of oil on the floor outside home
had a look underneath
and oil is dripping at quite a rate
from around the drain plug in the sump
looks like the sump is cracked
(dont ask how i havent hit anything)

so thats another thing that needs to be fixed now :cry:

i had someone run a key or ring across the bonnet of my sport in the summer. It wasn't too deep and some GT3 rubbing compound sorted it, but you can still see it at certain angles

:cry: Sorry about the car,hope you sort it soon.I'm afraid that's the world we live in now a days.Some people seem to think if they cannot afford it then why should anyone else.I hope that one day they have something that means everything to them and someone does to it what they did to you.Want hanging buy the short and curlies.
