Our trip to Spain/Portgual was a good way of getting that "over precious" feeling out of my system pretty rapidly. It survived surprisingly well. Itching to camp out in it again but we seem to be filling up all our weekends with social arrangements - arrgggh! Maybe I'll just sleep in it on the driveway?!
Give me strength!

I know that feeling, my next 2 weekends involve moving house
if ya need a hand give us a shout mate..........may take awhile to get to you thow
This is my pet hate! I had just picked up my brand new Tiguan a couple of years back and pulled into the garage for fuel and a transit raced in next to me. I hadn't even got out the car when the car shook at the force he opened the door onto my car! I got out and looked at the big dent in the passenger door and cried! As I stood putting fuel in thinking not worth an altercation (I was on my on and they were two huge builders), the passenger got out as the driver walked back to the van and they surrounded me asking what my f#cking problem was. I told him he had dented my brand new car and he threatened to kill me if I reported him and carried on asking me who I thought I was, how he hadn't touched my f#cking car and how he would smash my f#cking face if I called their company! I was reduced to a nervous wreck and had to shout for help to get them to walk away. They got back in the van, reversed up and drove at me, turning away at the last min as I walked into the kiosk with everyone checking I was ok! Wtf?!
I have since had several new cars that have been dinked and hAve accepted that no matter where I park it's only a matter of time before it happens to the new van! So I have brought a VW candy white touch up set in case the paint gets chipped in the process and just try my hardest not to think about it as I could literally have a complete break down over it! I have just driven away from places if no where suitable to park and it's just not worth the stress of you, but I really try to put it to the back of my mind! Easier said than done!

Next time put the voice recorder on your phone then you can go to the police
No unfortunately I was just too nervous and shaken to do anything about it. They said they would remember the reg as it was my memorable private plates !
Man ! They needed a slap to teach them some manors . Just wimps being rude to a lady
Jesus Christ Buggirl......I'm not sure what I'd have done there?! That is absolutely outrageous.......b*stards! My wife would have been in bits!!
Don't get me wrong, I can look after myself within reason and no shrinking violet, but it was how vile and confrontational they were that threw me! Just not nice. The fact that i remember it vividly after three years proves how nasty they were! Just not worth getting worked up over.
This is the reason I am a little nervous about our trip down you neck of the woods next Saturday for the half term week. Oh that and the fact that most car parks seem to be designed with smart cars in mind.
You could also have asked the petrol station if they had a tape showing the incident most have a camera recoding what goes on
I was once in a carpark and a white tipper was parked with a chap and 2 boys sat there eating a takeaway. As we walked past he dropped all their litter out of the window onto the floor. Without thinking I walked over and said sarcastically "Do you want me to put that in the bin your you?" at which he jumped out of his tipper got straight in my face and shouted "I'm a F***ing Pikey and I don't care about the F***ing litter and I don't care what you F***ing do about it! and if you say another word I'm gonna F***ing kill you!"
Charming!
(a bit of bleach needs pouring in that particular gene pool!)
