It was a nice turn out to the Ace last night but shock horror, i find on my car the next day a nice scrape on the rear wheel arch with a nice small scrap along the side of the bumper although not as bad this, anybody like to fess up, there were 2 cars parked, on the side that it was hit.

:clin:

That's a bit shit mate, luckily doesn't look like a huge amount of effort to sort it though.

I was apprehensive about mine being in the middle for this reason as well :(

Getting there earlier next time and get a space like we did the first time I (and you?) went will be the best idea, no need to worry then.

Can't remember any cars parked next to yours unfortunately, except mine obviously :cry:

Hi Gouki, we just met when you were leaving.

Sorry to see that. It's always a problem when there are so many peeps and so few spaces.

Try and get there early and bag a space nearer the entrance to the Cafe. I know Demlotcrew had his car outside for a while for the very reasons you've suffered.

Sorry to hear about this dude, i know how annoying it is when it happens on the the street but at a zone meet its a bit naughty to say the least that no one give you a shout or left a note at least.
Probably a non zone member i would hope :?

I found a big scuff on the bonnet or my sport 3 weeks ago and the a huge dent on my work car this saturday, no note nothing, really f@cking gets my goat it does :-x

Of course - I know I wouldn't like it happening to me so it's not fair to do it (i.e. not leave a note) to someone else.

Plus bad karma and all that winkeye

I think you maybe right, only 2 cars I can think of from what i remember is 2 dark coloured BM's one was an E28 that were parked on my side.

I wouldn't be as mad if this happened elsewhere as you'd expect it ie in a supermarket, but its in a blooming meet, you'd thought people would be much more careful. I'm bagging an early space next time and I'm not going away from my car unless I'm parked next to someone I know. As Baj said hope someone does have pics.

i'm pretty certain on it, i got the car back from the garage that day, only place i'd been since picking it up was the ace, but i dont wanna throw out accusations to people as I don't have real proof. Its too late anyway no point going in circles, its done now, I'll get it fixed up when I get my bumper and bonnet sprayed. Could have been worse I guess!

You see that's why all wheel arches should be made of body filler ;-)
