My 'family Spec' Stagea...

[Grungle]

So i woke up saturday morning to find paw prints all over my stagea. Up the bonnet, all over the windscreen and up and down the roof a few times.

"Big deal" i hear you say? "How much damage can a little kitten do?"

The only thing with paws around my place is our 6-month old, 22kg golden retriever puppy.

He has jumped up on the doors a couple of times before and put a few little scratches on it, but nothing like this. He obviously had a couple of tries to get onto the bonnet - there are 4 sets of scratches running down the front of the bonnet and over the headlight, so I guess it was slipperier than he was expecting.

So after 6 months, my near-perfect ARX is now looking decidedly family-spec. There's dog fur all through the back, a dent in the door where the missus opened it onto the corner of a wall and the inevitable gutter rash on the rims.

Oh well, I was planning on keeping it for a while...it will probably end up as a paddock-basher for the kids to learn to drive in another 10 years or so...

yeah mine has family specs now as well. It has marks on the back window where the roller door came down on it. there is dog fur in the car and the 2 year olds food crumbs all over the back seat. lucky my wife dosent hit gutters. I atleast taught her that one.

Dog hair - check (although it is more on the mat I can remove and on the floor mats than in the back)

Dog scratch marks on driver and passenger front doors - check

Dent on roof from large tree branch falling on it - check (all the scratches from where the branch slid arcoss the roof and down the bonnet did buff out though )

Gutter rash on one rim - check

Sticky, dirt/dust-covered engine bay - check

*sigh*

Still looks great when clean though (except the engine bay)

Mine is the same. The SFHC is not so hard. Scratches everywhere. Worst ones are from the zips on kids school bags.

It is very dirty ATM. We live on tank water and have had no rain for nearly four months. It still looks good though and drives like new.

Dog fur everywhere.

No rear seatbelts (dog).

Scratches up the back (my dog is trained to jump out through the back, and will be training him to jump in soon).

Scratches over bonnet from chickens.

Slobber all over my windows in the back.

Every knob in the back that he can get teeth on his gone.
