+1 to this, takeaway would be comming form all diffrent directions

Don't we feel the least sorry for Eagle Boys/Domino/Crust for making 1000s of pizzas each night for people who'll never pay? And what about the "GTFO"s that the delivery boys cop + the fuel they use up?

At least pay me decent money to take my 'good book' to read to her! And after I smash her in the face with it you'll all identify her with the embossed title on her forehead that reads,...

"ELBIB YLOH EHT"

Very bad luck, Geoff. And kudos to you for maintaining a level head. If it was me, I wouldn't be so 'kind'.

I have a next door neightbour who is sounds exactly like the woman who vandalised your car. She thinks it is her "right" to have the two spots outside her house as hers, although she never parks outside. We have had incedents of vandalism for years - from raw fish inside cars to broken mirrors, antennas, glass, and scratches/keying.Oh, and one incident of acid sprayed over the fence onto a new 4WD.

Funny thing is these incidents only happen when cars are parked outside her place, not mine, and only to our cars.

Some serious security cameras and a a few words to the streets gossiper and surprisingly the incidents stopped immediately. :D

Charlie thanks for the offer mate, unfortunately.. I'm sure it would get vandalised too. As a boatie myself (was actually fishing in Pittwater at the time) it would hurt to see that happen :)

The people we know in the street have already been told what happened, one of them is the neighbourhood gossip so word WILL spread. I can only hope she got a bit of a surprise when the police turned up to question her, might make her think twice next time.

Dave there are plenty of things I'd love to do.. this cow is exceptionally lucky I have the level of restraint that I do.

Sorry to hear Geoff....how are you going gettting it fixed.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but unless the cops can nail it too her your shit out of luck on this one :(

spot on. the same company made us pay an excess after a taxi hit the z while parked, even though we gave them and the police the number plate of the cab that did it.

Sorry to hear Geoff....how are you going gettting it fixed.

fixed everything besides the AM/FM antenna but I've got one waiting to go on, just ran out of time. By luck I found a silver pair of mirrors right away, they needed some minor repair work to get the folding action going again but all sorted now.

the doors also need a polish, there are some scuff marks from where the mirrors hit the paintwork. passenger side has a slight dent too but i'll live with it for now. basically all sorted :)

cheers dunc, sucks about the z. mongrels.

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
