right, had the car for nearly 7 weeks now and already:
• someone battered off my wing mirror, resulting in a scratched/chipped casing
• someone impatient bar steward didn't want to wait behind parked cars on the side of the road and forced me to make a choice between having him thrash past ridiculously close to my drivers side or to go up the very slight curb on my left... suffice to say i now have curbing damage on my left front wheel
• went past a big truck thing which either went though a load of gravel or had some stones as part of his load but it was like going past the MOTHER of all gritters... the car is now pretty badly stonechipped (we're not talking grit, we're talking big bastard stones!) and one went through the plastic grill breaking some of the diamond formation... not sure if that particular stone also did some damage to the radiator/intercooler/whatever is directly behind.
suffice to say, its heartbreaking with a new car
oh yeah... also hit a fox but didn't do any damage to the car... feel sorry for the fox tho...
