Parked in town today to help a workmate pick up some clothes from a shop. And when I got back to work I noticed the guy on a scooter has 'parked' into my rear bumper, leaving a nice big scratch through my paintwork.

So, so, angry right now.

Do you think this is a 'cope with it' situation or worth getting a 'chips-away' type outfit to fix it up? It's only on the plastic bumper so no worry of rust or anything. Just a small heartbreak everytime I wash it. (I have 2 other places where chips-away would be helpful, if I carry on like this I may as well respray the whole car. Colour ideas anyone?)

I'd try and a get a quote from Chips Away / Dent Master type place, if you are concerned about how your car looks. I didn't bother as I knew someone would only come along and wreck a different bit of the car.

i hope you kicked over his scooter and took a sh!t on the seat. barsteward

..and put a squirt of expanding foam in his tailpipe.

Then reversed over it...

Rob.

I'd have been less bothered if it was some kid on a scooter who can't ride and just wants a car really. But he passed by me before I pulled off and he was about 35! the bike could only have been 25cc!

Still mad. Wish I'd looked before I drove off now. GRR!

Think I'll leave it. Can't afford new paint with all these Group Buys going on. I'll just have a life long hatred of scooter-ers instead.

I hate it when stuf like that happens although chipsaway and dentmaster type services can do wonders for very little money.

I have taken to inspecting my car when I come back to it, I walk all the way around and see if there are any new scratches/dings.

A potato works better.

Not done it to a scooter but have to an Astra GSE.

Was it his fault or yours? If his, he pays. If you got his details that is ???!!!

It's obvious it's the scooter boy's fault, he parked into his rear bumper.

Didn't get his details, I didn't even know it had happened until I got to work and saw the back.

scratch goes sideways across the corner of the bumper, not sure I could have done that parking. It wasn't there when I parked. And I didn't hit anything between town and work. So I blame scooter-guy.

Put a good squirt of superglue on BOTH his foot rests and watch him topple over at the next set of red traffic lights.

or squirt some onto the underside of his handle grips.

So I blame scooter-guy.

Good enough for me! :grumpy:

I think you should go and purchase a big gun and hunt the commie pinko subversive scooter driver boy down like the dog that he clearly is.

Remember, Jesus hates scooter riders!

HTH

You know, I just might try that! You are my hero!

Spray a liberal dose of Red Heat on his seat and watch him squirm as his rusty sheriffs badge glows like Chernobyl B reactor (works better on a hot sunny day).

What? Twice? Isn't that excessive?

What? Twice? Isn't that excessive?

Nope.. measure twice, cut once

Bad luck Mort.Hope you sort it.

J.R Hartley I am guessing in a previous life you were an approved master torturer of some description

Mind you,for the noise those buzz boxes make they deserve to rot in hell.Twice for good measure ,as a good torturer might say

Drop a handful of dried Peas into his exhaust pipe, the rattle will send him mad...(don't use ball bearings unless you want them to fly out and maim a passer-by.)

Failing that get a set of testicle clamps from any good S+M website and extract a confession. (try Flea-bay for a second hand set..they ain't going on you so what do you care if he gets an STD)..

I hate this kind of thing, no respect for other peoples property, got back to my car the other day to find a shopping trolly imbedded in the passenger door, then after i laid the law down many many times people start eating in the car again

I dont drive my car anymore, just sits on the drive and i polish it at weekends, i now have a 25cc scooter with dodgy brakes, ran in to the back of a car in a carpark the other day, just drove off though couldnt be bothered with the hastle:D

I thought i better edit this one, i hope no one took the above to be true, i dont own nore have i or will i ever own a scooter!

Take a picture. Post it here and let us suggest the best way to fix it. There is a host of talent here !!

find him and do a great big turd in his helmut, and then wait for him to put it on and laugh.

If he finds him I suggest he gets him to pay!!
