I think this typre of problem impacts all types of cars that stand out.
Someone attempt to bend my aerial on my FX holden into the shape of Aust - while I was parked at the airport for the day.
while another time someone used their fingers to write washme on the side of my Maroon coloured my non standard landcruiser after a two weeks in the outback. This happenned on the first day back from the trip while I was grocery shopping.
I do agree with you though - the lack of respect people have for other peoples cars really SH%$s me.

i have a 2000 model camry that i got from peter warren when i got it it was in perfect nick not 1 scratch on it! on the first day of owning this car i took the missus up to the shopping centre to get a few things i parked it as far as i could get away with from anything when i got back 45mins later there were 2 fairly good dents with white paint left behind and a rusty white comodore next to it so it was fairly obvious who did it
we waited for the owners to come back for 30 mins then got the s***s and left
it's hard to keep a nice car looking nice when others don't give a crap!

My K used to get turned around all the time in parking lots, although it never got boxed in. I guess the people doing it are atleast considerate enough to let me drive off.

As for the S, it stands out more but has yet to have anything done to it. I'm waiting for the day.

amen brotehr,

too many fahk heads in thsi world with no respect,

My Clubby used to get moved all the time when doing my Mechanics Apprentice training at Richmond Tech. The boys would go to the Town Hall Hotel for lunch , and as they werent allowed to go into class in the afternoon they found other ways to amuse themselves.

There was a teacher that drove a Mini too, now I know why he parked it in the front of his classroom every day.

I just remembered there was a guy that had a Honda Scamp (N360) which he'd converted to a rear drive using a Honda CBX1300 donk. It looked sweet with the bike exhausts sticking out under the back bumper. It never got moved though

hmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Exactly why I wont be parking my minis anywhere, if theyre ever finished. Last thing I want to see is a sportspack arch ripped from the body.

Now you're talking. I used to have to park the Moke in the street, but it attracted so much attention it was always copping something.

I must say though I was a lot more pissed off the day I came back to my Mini parked in town to find this horrible fat woman sitting on the front mudguard while she and her equally un-attractive mate fagged away outside their workplace. When she eventually hauled herself off there was this sweaty sticky smear on the brand new paint, where she'd rested one of her chocolate cake covered paws. I couldn't believe that anyone would be so blatantly disrespectful of someone else's property.

When in the States a while back there were a lot of car alarms that had a proximaty warning voice that said"You are standing too close to the car please move away" It would say it a couple of times if you didn't move then let go with an ear piecing siren.

We need one with an Ozzie voice that says " Shove off d1ckhead "

F^#@^$@^ School Holidays

The neighbor from across the road knocked on the door two nights ago to tell me that she just saw some kids taking off with a two of my valve caps.

This morning in the servo on the way to work I went to check the tyre pressures and now the other two are gone too. I usually lose 2 to 6 caps every holidays.

I'm thinking I might design a set that you have to use a special spanner to remove, with angled sharp edges that will rip your fingers apart if you try to take them off without the spanner!

Why did they ever change the size of pushbike valves to be the same as cars

I had someone pop the bonnet of my Clubby and pour a handful of sand down the oil filler neck of my freshly rebuilt 1275. Being 18 at the time, the cost of that rebuild and sourcing the motor in a country town was a hell of a lot of money for me. Needless to say it didn't last long. They put the cap back on and closed the bonnet afterwards. I didn't notice anything was wrong till everything was wrong

It's annoying because I've gone off at people hanging a bit too closely to my car, only to find out they "Had one of these as thier first car". You cant distinguish respect from complete lack of it from a distance unfortunately.

Peace
