Sorry for your baby

I'm so sad and angry to hear they are as mean in the UK as they are here in the States. I had hoped it was only people in the U.S. who are so mean. I only have 5,000 miles on my 2002 BMW 330 convertible as the two times I took it to a parking lot it got dented one time and spit on another. The dent came on a day I was on my way to sit with my dying Doberman at the vet's. He was only 1-1/2 years old and my little soulmate. I had a quick errand, and even parked in a Handicapped spot someone banged their door into mine. So sad on top of my deepest sadness with Rebel.

I worry about what color Mini Clubman I order just because of this sheer meanness. I was going to get Chili Red and then thought BRG might be safer, but I see that one of you also got keyed, along with the other colors online.

Now I drive my husband's truck when I have to park in a lot, but I can't stand its 11 mpg and it is so hard to drive. Not sure what to d I have been on the list 2 years waiting for my Clubby.

Well after all these years some scum bag did my beloved GP on Friday night, drivers door, down to the primer

Really can't understand why someone would do this, what kind of kick or buzz they get from damaging someone elses property? What actually goes through the minds of these people to make them see someones pride and joy and take to it with a key?

I just hope that Karma gets the scum that did this, and that one day they get pay back

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

Yer I had my mini for 1 month and I thought we should have a nice day in bristol zoo.

Someone keyed it from front to back, even the plastic trims.

I paid £150 for both panels to be resprayed, and it does not look anywhere near as good as when it was new.

What posesses people to do this?

I like parking in 2 spaces, but if people are looking for a space and they see u in it, where I live they key ur car lol. So cant win.

Almost every car I own has been dented or keyed on purpose. Its only a matter of time when you have nice property sadly.

If its not deep (check by running your nail in it, usually if ur nail gets caught in it, its too deep for polish)

If it is deep, go to a resprayer and make sure they use the best quality lacquer, tell them that you want mirror shine, even if u have to pay more.

What goes around. . .

Focus > Mini One > Mini Cooper > Mini Cooper > BMW 316 > BMW 318 > MINI ONE > BMW 120i > MINI ONE PEPPER! - IM BACK!!

My 96 Honda got scratched, my 06 Toyota got scratched, and now that I want the Clubman I don't know what to do. I'm thinking about getting the alarm system but is it even worth it???

Well when I go out with my love and he parks next to anyone with huge doors he takes a pic of the license plates with his cell phone, just in case of any dents or scratches, and the one time he didnt his GTO got dented badly. I felt so bad cuz I told him to hurry up.

Anyways, there's nothing you can do but hope that karma will bounce back and hit them in the behind. ; ) hopefully there ride
