That's infuriating I know. It's considered normal to rub adjacent cars when maneuvering. It saves using up skill.

Run some self-tappers through from the inside for next time. Then there will be no doubt about who it was!

Countless times I've seen kids just whack car doors into cars next to them and the parents don't bat an eyelid.

Nov 2009 at 19:35 I've seen some absolute beauties, mercs, beamers, alfas etc. shoehorned into the tightest of gaps because the drivers dont want to walk across the car park. I wouldn't be able to shop, I'd constantly be looking to see if my car was ok.

Our MIG seemed to collect more "car park" scratches than anything else, and in a time period of less than 3 months.

Not one scratch on the Isuzu, and that is since July.....can't think why.

I wonder why...... Grin

Which reminds me of some years ago when I lived in Hertfordshire, bit snobby in some area's, I ran an ex MOD series 3 Landrover and a new Mini Cooper, no one ever pulled out in front of the Landrover Thumbs Up!

Since having the re-spray done, I don't go shopping late in the day, early or lunchtime during the week, and park in a bay where they're are no other cars Thumbs Up!

like johnny I work in a supermarket, was doing a late shift so moved the mig from the crowded staff allocated area to the emptyish bit in front of the store about 9 pm only to come out at 12 to find a nice deep dent (complete with offenders paint) below the rear o/s light cluster and the chrome bumper trim sprung out. Too deep for one of these mobile dent fixers and no money to take it elsewhere. Im hoping my next door neighbours lad whose an apprentice panel beater can get it out without cracking the paint Sad
