S3 front bumper scratched...

What on earth are they making these new Audi sports jobbies out of?

Living next to the Sheffield United ground we get a fair amount of
parking on match days (and nights - like tonight, especially tonight).

Some may believe that our little cul-de-sac is hard enough to navigate
without Yorkshire Water digging a fecking big hole at the end in the
absolute middle of the T junction, but not withstanding, clueless ****
in aforementioned Audi sports jobbie decides to turn around 'there'
instead of either reversing out - with lots of space or - driving down
to the end of the road and turning around there... Erm... IYSWIM?

So, a few years ago now someone pulled the back off their new Beetle
whilst in the B&Q car park. Now this numpty has pulled half of the
_front_ of his Audi by catching it on my front bumper...

Then ****es off!
(Watched it on the CCTV - incredible)

I doubt he'll get far...

Looked at the un-damage to my bumper - a bit of Hammerite scraped off.
(Pics tomorrow in daylight).

I wish I could feel sorry for people like this, but I'd previously
been out and moved the S3 back as far as it'd go as some other
clueless cnut had parked on the opposite corner which would have made
any emergency vehicle access totally impossible.

Laziness and impatience has cost him a fair amount of money I reckon,
and TBH, if it weren't my car he'd hit, I think I'd have reported a
driveaway to local plod - he'd probably done a fair amount of damage
to my neighbours Corsa had he been a few inches off during one of his
'part turns' - and being a nurse on call, she may potentially have
been a tad inconvenienced.

Remind me why I'm not a great fan of Football...

I found your road no more than a cul-de-sac, not hard to traverse in any way shape or form! Mind you the
average footy fan ( I love the game, but hate the supporters) can only just about chant, let alone drive!

Was it a TT or summat like it? The bumper itself will be around £400 (yes, really) & then to paint, then
to fit! Then.............

Mind you, the wifes new Golf, you CANNOT see the bonnet at all, even at full seat height, even at 6' 4"

Audi used to make an S3 too you know!! Irony is not what you always do to shirts!!

How you must have guffawed or cried.

On a serious note, the standard of driving is not getting better in this country. Go to the continent if
you want to witness lane discipline on a motorway. Forget Jc33-38 on the M1 for a start!

When he has removed the offending vehicle from the S3 with his 'burglar re-education' device is suspect!!

There was an Audi TT involved in a non-too-serious front quarter
collision in Leek last week - the usual smashed headlight type of
thing. The amazing thing was that the rear drivers side suspension
had completely collpased! So the re-call didn't do much good!

Because you can't see the point of grown men kicking a bag of wind round a
field?

well unless you are operating a business or organisation at home
the Data Protection Act 1998 doesnt cover it. You could offer it to
'dumbest criminals' or similar and let their legal dept sort out the
niceties and get the cost of your tin of hammerite . :)

I do have a somewhat basic understanding of Data Protection
Legislation. It is, after all, my job.
