Re: Catching a Boulder with the Windscreen

Bad times :shrug:

Same thing happened to me when I traded in my roc.

Carefully parked my soon to be departed roc to hide the broken fog light only to end up with a cracked windscreen on my way home with my new car!

Karma I guess.............

Re: Kerbed alloy and cr*p refurb.

Any half decent sprayer should be able to match the paint and blend it in no problem.

As for still being able to see the damage under the paint......no excuse!It would have stood out when they were at primer stage.

I'd have them do it again.

Re: Polish after paint repair?

On a side note, a friend of mine also had his nav unit nicked last weekend. Bloke frome Autoglass said it was the third he'd been to in a week!

Be careful where you leave em dudes!

The cost of a replacement is way way more than the factory cost option!

I have seen this done somewhere. Think the cost was in th region of 600 quid plus a boat load of hassle!

Not worth the time or the agro since IMO.

I had a Tracker on my last car.

Made no difference to the cost of my insurance what-so-ever.

Re: Carpark Capers

If you write to the DVLA, for a small fee (couple of quid is all) they will send you the details of the registered keeper, so long as you have good reason for requesting it (They ask why you want it). You can download the form from the DVLA site if i remember rightly. If it's going to cost to get it...

And who said mysogyny was dead? The worst drivers on the road are clearly 50mph driving, middle lane owing, phone wedged to lughole, white van drivers who, more often than not, are oblivious to the frustrated lorry driver six inches off their bumper brigade. All male, obviously. Closely followed by...
