You have a beetle painted bright yellow and someone reverses into it, then say to you that THEY DIDN'T SEE IT.
One of my boys at work parked his landcruiser into my passenger door yesterday. I couldn't believe it when he told me that he just didn't see it.
I think i might buy him a white cane for christmas, it might help his driving.:cry:cry

Had a guy turn left in front of me at a "T" intersection years ago.
Then he changed his mind & reversed back around the corner, straight into me.
First he reckoned he couldn't see me. How do you miss a 6 foot square, white kombi?
Then he reckoned I must have been close behind him. "YOU REVERSED AROUND A FUCKING CORNER."
The up side was, his plastic Falcon faired worse than my steel truck......😎

Sad to hear this.
If you go to your local Optometrist and get a business card and give it to him and tell him to go ASAP LOL.

Cheers Pete,
It is a new door job,
This is actually a blessing in discuise, as the bottom of the door ATM is full of rust. So Now i get a freshly painted rust free door.
It is just the inconvenience that is the trouble, and the fact that i have to sand down the new door to be painted.
Oh well, only one way to learn.
Lee.

Bummer Lee. You should make up for any sadness by going for a cruise and picking up some Krispy Kremes. 🙂
Squiz....
buzzbug ·
Squiz,
Mate that cruise was the start of something evil.
Those donuts are satan incarnate.
But oh so delicious.
Lee.

Thats a bummer but at least it was the rusty door that was hit.🙂
pete wood ·
sounds like a good excuse to repaint the whole car at someone elses expense. 🙂
buzzbug ·
Pete i wish i could.
I am dieing to change the colour ot my bug,
it attracts far to many insects for my likeing.
They seem to think that it is a giant flower.
Starbug ·
:duh its a fking yellow beetle! the most recognisable car in history, and painted in the most recognisable colour!!! :duh im glad it was only damage to your rusty door, but saying he didnt see you is a fking joke! (and one that glasses could fix!)
pete wood ·
Don't just fix the door man, spend a bit more and paint the whole car. Once you paint it you'll have to dump it and hot it up, this is an act of divine inspiration to make you hotrod it.
go-on, you know you want to 😉
p.s. we need an horned evil grin smiley for moments like this.

You sure that this guy wasn't from Artillery???
buzzbug ·
if he was from artillery he wouldn't have hit it.
he would have just fallen short of the car.
Pete, as for slamming the car. that will be taken care of next week. Narrowed beam with adjusters in it and a set of drop spindles are set to go in.
barls ·
did you smack him up the side of the head and say " open your eyes boy"
that sucks mate but they have no respect for the dubs. i had 1 guy fling his door in to the side of mine and dent the door and then told me the it was just a bug well mr hammer and i soon proved it was not just a bug but my bug and i was not happy.

Krispy Kreme cost me an engine rebuild 🙁
penguin ·
Almost agree barls.
Parked my square too close to a Jeep last week in the carports here. He had parked halfway into the bay that I use, so I squeezed in there (so close I actually took my WOFF out to witnes that I did not hit him). This morning while I started the engine to keep the battery happy, he came over and almost launched into me, saw the rank, then politely said that I rubbed his tyre when I parked.
Just cos he had a bigger car (oh, and was a firey and a big boy) he thought he could do whatever the hell he wanted..... he he, must be the first time rank has worked 😀
buzzbug ·
I didn't get angry funly enough,
when he came and told me, it looked as though he had seen a ghost.
He was affraid to tell me.
Everyone at work knows how much i love my bug. He thought that i was going to kill him.
When i said that as long as no one was hurt and my brand new running boards are in one piece then its ok.
Oh and that he was going to pay for the damage.
Lee.
barls ·
well mr hammer has only been used once and it was on a guys bonnet and i didnt leave a dent so its all good. p.s i dont condone such activities as vengeance
buzzbug ·
vengence???
i told this guy that if he reneged on paying me, then i was going to hire an 8 ton tip truck and reverse into his landcruiser.
Then reasured him that i could do far more than $500 worth of damage with it.
penguin ·
No no
we all know that there should be no such thing as vengance!!!
Randomly occurring instances of unfortunate occurrances that happen against the same party maybe, but no vengance.
That way no one suspects that the person who is calm and quiet is responsible for the damage to the car of the mongrel who cut you off etc 🙂
Honest, I don't believe in vengance.... 😉

Your car may be painted yellow but you will probably find that it is a special "invisability" paint, my car is painted in the same type of paint. I am the only person that can see my car ! Everyone else can't !!!!!!
Starbug ·
so its kinda like an SEP field? (somebody elses problem)
ive heard they are cheap, reliable and can be run off a single d-size battery for over 100 years.
