    Im not *beeping* happy!!!!!!!

    Ok then... im not *beeping* happy

    I washed and waxed my car yesterday since it was a lovely warm day. Looked lovely afterwards...

    So today... since my parents are on holiday from work we went into Durham for a look around the shops (using their car).

    So when we came back from Durham their's my car sitting on the driveway with a layer of dust all over it. The sodding neighbour is getting a new driveway done and all the dust from the hardcore has covered my car. It just 1 big yellow megane coupe now, even the windows are yellow!!!!!!


    Not only that... they have managed to put a JCB bucket through our dividing fence and smash all the wood, and put the JCB bucket through the brick wall of my neighbour. bloody cowboys!!!!

    Sometimes a car looks dignified in muck. A little mud splatter along the sills, a squadron of flies attached to the front bumper and a serious layer of brake dust on the alloys.

    My mates car actually got written off by cowboy builders. They were cutting down an industrial unit next door to his works and spent half the day showering his car with sparks from the cutting tools.
    Needed every panel painting, and all the glass, including lights replacing. Insurance company just wrote it off

    Especially as the front headlamps are around £400 each...
    Average body shop Labour rates upwards of £80 Per hour....
    Anything more than 40% of the current market value of a car will write it off.
