Got home from work at about 9pm. Left my Mini Van on the street so I could move the wifes car and while Im at the front door I hear Splat , giggle , giggle. A P plater just egged the Van. They then did other cars in the Street. Jumped in Mini, go to start it and it turned over really slow which never happens! Then bang the 1360 comes to life. Down the road to find em after they had a good headstart and cut them off when they had to give way to me. What next? Get out and kick their Mazda 2 or them? No ..... felt like it though! They cut in front of me and took off so I chased them to get the No. plate and Im sure they were scared shitless with this Mini Monster chasin them around a streets. The dick head then turned off his lights in a well lit street so i couldn't see his number plate. Have to do better than that you idiot! Sat behind them some more until he drives into a place that is a rabbit warren, so I stopped , wrote down the No. plate and rang the local constabulary. They asked if I wanted a car to come around, but I said nah, just ring the registered owner ( prob his Mum!) and let them know. Went home washed the Van cause egg + car paint aint a good combo.
To all you egg throwers , (no one here Im sure) , be very careful what type of car you choose! The mini owner is quite a protective breed.
Thanks for reading.......... I feel better now!

Good work there,, however, keep an eye out over the next couple of weeks they may be back for revenge. that would be a sad day if that happens, very very sad, can't imagine the car will get off lightly.

I had a SS hachback Torana a few years ago that had 14'' hotwires on the back & 13'' on the front. I had just had new tyres fitted and I left it parked out the front of my Cousins house in Geelong while we went out on the town. When i come home some bastard had knocked my wheels off. I went to the wreckers & got for stockies so i could drive it home and 2 weeks later when me & all my mates were walking out of the Commo after lunch guess what was driving into the carpark. I got my wheels back that day. :)

Car paint is chipped. I followed the trail of eggs and found a friend on the trail who gave me a flyer someone printed up about this happening all over the suburb and a description of the dudes involved. The Bill are already aware of it and I went to the Station this morning to report it so the little dick head can pay for it! Wait and see what happens.

Given that you have a van - you have an advantage. How many eggs can you fit in a van? How many bags of flour can you fit in a van?

Find the bastards, corner them and them spend 20 mins egging them with the contents of your van? Then a light dusting of flour and send them on their way - on foot

Same egg throwing caper has been mentioned on a bike forum I visit - also in NSW, must be the latest craze for the little dears. The author said he went looking for the kids (his car had been hit as he drove home) and found them hiding behind bushes waiting for their next target, crept up behind them, and when all was quiet jumped up from behind a bush with his torch and screamed at the top of his voice - said he's never seen 3 kids levitate so high and run without feet touching the ground.
Bwwahahaha.

this kind of story shits me. They are the ones in the wrong. They are the ones doing something they shouldnt. They are the ones that should be punished. But if you find them, belt them up, teach them a lesson.... all of a sudden YOU become the one thats in trouble.

>: - |

I had a small hatchback years ago that was the daily car to the Mini and some (**&%$### **^%$#$%^&*&^%$ covered it in what I think was engine oil and then grabbed the back spolier and just gave it an almighty tug which f'ked up both the spoiler and the hatch it was attached to.

I tell you i am only a little guy, but if i catch someone touching my cars I SNAP. I once left my friend sleeping in the back of my mini to grab something to eat. No more than 2 mins away from the car no more than 50 meters away... Come out of the shop and these two drunk idiots have opened the front door "to have a look"... i nearly took his head off... :evil: :evil: only thing that stopped me was knowing I would have landed in trouble :( :roll:
