Not happy (car)...NOW WITH PICS #59

[Luke]

Well some of you may know I was down seeing Mike this weekend in Brighton and I went to see Louise after I got back.

I was in a pretty good mood to be fair - left Mikes house at 14.20 and arrived at Louises at 18.23 - plus I stopped for five minutes so I thought I done good. Sat in her house, watching TV and I hear a MASSIVE bang, but I didn't wanna go out because there is gangs of chavs that hang around, so I checked but it was all quiet. I went out to the car at 9.30 to come home and I found 4 BIG cracks going up my windscreen - the Tw@ts have thrown a stone, causing 20 little cracks and 4 big ones going up my windscreen and smashed a bit of my wiper.

I reckon it would be some of our chavs mates, just annoys me how jealous some people are. Think I'll need to wash my mouth out with soap and water after all the swearing I have done.

Rant over.

[jaybiss]

sorry to heat luke

shit end to a good weekend and you didnt get sex either :omg:

any pics of the damage?

[landy]

hahaha unlucky mate

[Luke]

I'll get some pictures tomorrow mate, it's too dark for photos now and it's pissing it down.

I know, no sex either - gutted. Lol! Yeah very shit end to the weekend, now I gotta go through the insurance and get it replaced.

[LittleDude101]

sorry to hear that dude

you going to the police about it or anything?

[2klthor]

I'll get some pictures tomorrow mate, it's too dark for photos now and it's pissing it down.

I know, no sex either - gutted. Lol! Yeah very shit end to the weekend, now I gotta go through the insurance and get it replaced.

why insurance mate?

[Danr]

Shame that buddy, nothing you can really do about it, thats the most annoying thing :) Btw, was good to meet you the other day :y:

[Clouds_mate]

why insurance mate?

replacement windscreens are about 250 sheets.

Sorry to hear that luke. You going to add it to your progress thread ;)

[seat-craig]

luckily it wasnt body work and only glass but i do feel for any one who is victim of it. your pride and joy smashed up by some mindless dirty scum

[seat-craig]

[Luke]

sorry to hear that dude

you going to the police about it or anything?

Funnily enough, the police came down not long after but I didn't know this had been done to the car, so I didn't say anything but to be honest what would they do? They are pretty useless.

why insurance mate?

As I am Fully Comp insurance, I can pay £50 excess and get the windscreen replaced and it won't affect my NCB.

[willsy]

You'll need to report it to the police to get a crime number for it which insurance needs to be able to claim off. Nothing they can do though unless theres any CCTV footage from anywhere. No forensic tests can be done if it was a stone thrown.

Really is a shame and it sucks that this kind of thing happens, the tits that do it should be put down, the world wouldnt miss them

[Luke]

Shame that buddy, nothing you can really do about it, thats the most annoying thing :) Btw, was good to meet you the other day :y:

Yeah you too mate, shame we couldn't hang around any longer.

replacement windscreens are about 250 sheets.

Sorry to hear that luke. You going to add it to your progress thread ;)

I think I should Leckie ;). It's correct what Leckie said, they ain't cheap so might aswell go through my insurance - from what I can see there is no bodywork damage.

[BenSilverSaxo]

Bad luck mate there is some twats about!!

[Luke]

I think I'll just tell the insurance a stone was thrown up on the Motorway coming home.

[seat-craig]

got a weird story my boss told me. he locked something important in his car that he needed cant remeber what and the aa said they will be 2-3 hours. So he got a baseball bat and was trying to smash one of the windows. considering hes a big guy he was really going at it and he couldnt do it. it just wouldnt smash.

Some chavy kid walked past and offered his services. he got a tiny stone of the road lobbed it at the window and the whole thing smashed

[LittleDude101]

its also good to have a crime reference for insurance purposes. The police may know of a gang around that are known for such incidents. Worth a try... you have nothing to loose.

also if the police were round earlier, they may have seen a group of kids hanging around

car windows are wierd like that. there are certain ways of getting in

[SaxOmniaC]

thats shit to hear mate, i know how it feels with chav's wrecking your motor, i been through hell with it, 20 odd key scratches, some very bad, now need a respray and tyres let down all the time. I moved a while ago and its all stopped but it shouldnt happen in the first place.

I'm gonna scratch the C***'S who scratched my cars eye's out sooner or later cos i've been given names of a couple of little chavs through my younger cousins but it's finding them!

Hope you catch the f**ker's and throw bricks through them!!

[Jacks_Black_Sax]

some people got no respect... its horrible

[Luke]

Well I hate Louises estate anyway and she is moving next weekend. The whole 12 months we have been together, nothing has happened to either of my Saxos until tonight.

My Dad reckons it's jealousy.

[Danr]

Im sure it is jealousy mate, kids that want vtr's but can't as they are to young etc.

[LittleDude101]

it probably is mate

[Luke]

And another thing...found out I won the Bonus Ball at work £94 I have got so no doubt what half of that is going on and say goodbye to my components.

[Kelly]

or the fact that chavs are bored and always out to cause trouble. you know what its like their not cool until they've got an asbo under their belt lol

[Luke]

Im sure it is jealousy mate, kids that want vtr's but can't as they are to young etc.

Yeah, it's gotta be. Not been big headed, but my car is a nice newish 03 reg, it's seen on there often around Louises, I get plenty of looks but it's obvious why they have done.

[Luke]

or the fact that chavs are bored and always out to cause trouble. you know what its like their not cool until they've got an asbo under their belt lol

If only I could take a baseball bat to there heads, I'm still angry now. Lol!

[2klthor]

didnt realise widscreens cost 250 quid leckie blimey.

will just be some kid acting hard and running off because you have a nice looking car mate, sorry to hear bout the damage btw

[Kelly]

If only I could take a baseball bat to there heads, I'm still angry now. Lol!

hows about 2 months worth of anger bottled up from the person scratching my car - i think i want to take more than a baseball bat to their head

[Luke]

I agree Kelly, that must be much worse as paint is harder to fix than a windscreen.

Hope you find the twats.

[Kelly]

I agree Kelly, that must be much worse as paint is harder to fix than a windscreen.

Hope you find the twats.

funny thing is when the first one happened i sent a letter to everyone down my street this was mid november and i got a reply yesterday morning saying i'm pretty much pathetic for suspecting my neighbours.

why the hell shouldn't i? i know who does and doesn't like me down my street. gods knows why when i keep myself to myself though

oh and when i find who's done it they better watch their precious little car if they have one because i'm out to do bigger and better

[SaxOmniaC]

hows about 2 months worth of anger bottled up from the person scratching my car - i think i want to take more than a baseball bat to their head


i'm with you there but about 3 months and 20 key marks, need full respray as i said earlier and i'm gonna burst at some little f*cker for it.

[Danr]

oh and when i find who's done it they better watch their precious little car if they have one because i'm out to do bigger and better

Paintstripper does a good job :y:

[Kelly]

if i'm right about who it is then i can't go beating up some old woman can i? lol

[Kelly]

Paintstripper does a good job :y:

paintstripper - brake fluid it does the same job. imagine them walking out to their car in the morning and seeing bare metal everywhere.

i intend to pour over the full car if i get angry enough at the time.

[Danr]

go for it, also, if they have grass on the lawn, re-arrange these letters and write it in brake fluid. Cnut :)

[argylefan1985]

Unlucky mate, Chavs ruin lives that simple lol

[Luke]

I'll update thread tomorrow with pictures.

[Luke]

Unlucky mate, Chavs ruin lives that simple lol

I know it's only a windscreen at the end of the day, but it just winds me up for the simple fact I hate anything been touched on my car and now I gotta go through the hassle of getting it fixed plus paying £50 excess.

I wish I had my alarm fitted already, I would of gone out with a baseball bat ready for them.

[Barry123]

nobs

end of.

Makes you wonder what goes through their likkle pea sized brain when they do this.

I'd have f**king ran over theirs heads nice and slowly.

and one thing... sod the mods, get that alarm asap - I know its hindsight but I might have prevented this incident.

The paintwork hasnt been buggered either has it?

[dannyjay]

paintstripper - brake fluid it does the same job. imagine them walking out to their car in the morning and seeing bare metal everywhere.

My cousin had this done to his Mint black EVO 7 in nottingham, had to have the whole car resprayed as they did every panel! :sad:

[Luke]

Typical thing is Ads, the alarm is being fitted next week - again another annoying thing.

I can't see any paintwork damage with the torch, no dints in bonnet either. I reckon I could be pretty lucky, but I'll give it once over tomorrow. To be honest, I'm going off the VTR now anyway, tempted for something else.

[pug_boe]

that's well bad!, hope it all gets sorted soon

[Luke]

I know my car doesn't feel right now and that will bug me so much as I like everything to be SPOT ON!

Grr!

[pug_boe]

I know my car doesn't feel right now and that will bug me so much as I like everything to be SPOT ON!

Grr!


ha trust me love i no what you mean...the focus has been in the garage 3 times in 4 weeks of having it which feels rather wrong lol. :homme: At least they didnt do much else to it though love

[saxodan]

Sorry to hear that mate, but if that was me I would of gone out as soon as I heard the bang!

Hope you can get it fixed and back to normal asap

[Luke]

Yeah hopefully Boe, like I said I can't see anything with the torch and it will be dark when I leave for work in the morning, but I'll give it once over at lunch.

Imagine this: Cracked underneath passenger wiper, 2 cracks gone straight up passenger side, one accross bottom and another accross bottom, round the edge and all the way up the side plus about 20 little cracks.

[Luke]

Sorry to hear that mate, but if that was me I would of gone out as soon as I heard the bang!

Hope you can get it fixed and back to normal asap

You don't know her estate lol, it's a bit rough to say the least.

I know I should of gone out, but I didn't know if anyone was hanging about and there was only Louise and I in the house.

[Danny]

sorry to hear that mate chavs really annoy me when they do things like this its like they have nouthing better to do then go around damaging peoples property

[saxodan]

You don't know her estate lol, it's a bit rough to say the least.

I know I should of gone out, but I didn't know if anyone was hanging about and there was only Louise and I in the house.

Little feckers

You prob did the right thing then

[Viper]

christ. little bastards

sorry to hear this Luke!! bunch of pricks, no point in them doing something like that.you said it was probably some of your chav 'friends'. by that, are you being sarcastic, or you actually think you know the lads?

[saxooxas]

Shit unlucky mate - hate chave bastards. Have you ever noticed it only seems to be chavs who do this sort of thing? I mean look at the mosheads and goths and such, they never seem to do anything like that even though theyre the ones everyone dislikes. Anyone notice that? Plus what really pisses me off is that they get away with it. We cant go out and smash their faces in cause wed get in trouble yet the cops never find the person who did it! Should go back to corporal punishment thatd show em!

[scotts]

You could go to a scrappy and see if you could get a windscreen cheap sorry to hear about it mate

[luisax]

Unlucky chap, at least you've got the insurance to go through, so it's not as expensive as it could have been. I know how it feels, the amount of shit I've had with people causing to my car - I now can't even leave the saxo outside my house!

[rushy_23]

Just read the thread now, all I can say is its bullshit Luke.
Little f*cking twats got nothing better to do than cause stress/hassle
for everyone else.

Im not being stereotypical but they are pricks. I see em round where I
live everywhere and I just want to smack em all!
Get it sorted mate and then just go on like it never happened. Dont let
it bug you.

[saxooxas]

rushy once again with some wise words there. I hate all the little bastards - even my little 13 year old cousins becoming a bit of a little shit tbh! Shouldnt say that about family but its true.

[SaxOmniaC]

Imagine this: Cracked underneath passenger wiper, 2 cracks gone straight up passenger side, one accross bottom and another accross bottom, round the edge and all the way up the side plus about 20 little cracks.

This is not a comparison mate but is what they can really do to fuck you off and a chav rant!

Imagine this: 20+ key scratches round the motor, Two the whole way the car, one shell deep 5ft down passenger side, 3 shell deep foot longs on same side front wing, 6 little very deep key's along the rubber on my drivers window, 4 around the fuel cap, and a few others.

The same socially inept type of bastards who done your windscreen have caused over a thousand pounds worth of damage to my car which i dont have the money to fix and wont for a few months at least!

When mine was done i was in a rough area, Corby, its the biggest nastiest council estate(town really) on the planet, but it was and still is home.

It doesnt matter where you live, they either dislike you or are jealous(90% of the time) and they are gonna do your car in cos they can, Its what they do best and they know they want it but cant have it!

They will carry on and carry on and the next thing to hit the news will be boy/CHAV/kid/person, whichever, killed, hurt, injured, attacked, whatever by man supposedly defending car!

We will get the blame whatever cos chavs are bad and we are badder! And the best bit, it's them that make us look bad in the first place when we do nothing wrong! they nick cars, drive fast etc etc and people auto think tha anyone with a fast(dont go there) car is a chav!

Excuse my rant but it needed to be said cos they piss me right off! :rage:

soz for the :hijack: and hope you get your motor sorted and catch the f**kers!

[Mark51]

unlucky Luke, its only going to cost £50-£60 for a new windscreen but thats not the point. im starting to get the felling now that kids now a days are been brought up with no respect for other peoples property, let alone their own.
i was a little tyke when was younger but nothing like some of them that are aound now. they will have seen your car and thought yeah thats nice lets smash his windscreen. TWATS

if it had been me i would have been straight out no matter if there was a gang of them or not, they can't of been over 16 so their still kids really.

sods law about the alarm, why are you thinking of getting rid of it when your progress is coming alone nicely??;)

:panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: WE HATE CHAVS:panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic:

[Luke]

Well I have taken some pictures of the damage, sorry the ain't the best of quality as I didn't get a chance to see my car at lunchtime and take photos.

I'll get it sorted asap Rushy, I know it will be fine once it's done. Louise is moving next weekend and my car ain't going anywhere near her house until then, it's like she said they were probably testing if it was alarmed and now they know it isn't will try to break in next time.
christ. little bastards

sorry to hear this Luke!! bunch of pricks, no point in them doing something like that.you said it was probably some of your chav 'friends'. by that, are you being sarcastic, or you actually think you know the lads?

I was been sarcastic mate, I don't know anyone round there. It's either jealousy or have a grudge againist me because if the chavs walk in middle of the street, I won't slow down for them.

[jclaydon]

Jeez mate. Thats really sickening. Theres loads of these threads cropping up again. Have you been into your insurance company yet?

[Luke]

Jeez mate. Thats really sickening. Theres loads of these threads cropping up again. Have you been into your insurance company yet?

Not yet buddy, I'm going to ring them up later.

[dannyjay]

Blimey that doesn't look like fun! Hope you get it all done soon matey!

[Hannah]

Aww sorry to hear that Luke!

Hope it all gets sorted soon! :)

[Tupps]

bad crack that ;)

i hope its parked up till its sorted!

[Danny]

Well I have taken some pictures of the damage, sorry the ain't the best of quality as I didn't get a chance to see my car at lunchtime and take photos.

jeez looks bad matey chav = scum

[Luke]

I'm still driving it until it gets sorted, as I need the car for work.

I'm phoning the insurance now as we speak.

[TU-Tuning]

As everyone has said mate theyre all little gutless twats. Not fair atall not the best start to the year. Hopefully it all gets sorted out quickly and those wankers get whats coming to them.

[chelle]

unlucky luke i know how u feel though. my rear one got smashed on friday night, luckily the alarm went off so they didnt steal anything! had to pay 70 quid through the insurance :upset:

[Barry123]

bunch of fudge packers.

[Luke]

I have just spoken to the insurance company and they have confirmed it will NOT affect my NCB at all. Elephant use RAC AutoWindscreens, so I hope they are good are fitting it and they will phone me tomorrow morning to sort out place/time for me to have it fitted. I'll just have to pay the Fitter £50 for the Excess on the Policy - So glad I'm fully comprehensive as it would of cost about £300 for a new windscreen.

Also, just come off the phone to Louise and her Dad has found half a house brick on the drive where my car was, so someone has thrown it intentionally at my car but I'm so LUCKY that it didn't hit the bonnet as I would of majorly gutted.

Anyways, least it's sorted now.

[Dan]

Sorry to hear what happend mate, good to know its nothing too bad to get sorted. Dont see what some people get out of doing that to other peoples cars.

[Luke]

Nor do I mate, really I don't. Like I said it's either some jealous nobheads or someone who has a grudge againist me because I probably don't slow down when they are walking on the street.

[argylefan1985]

run them down lol

[James]

Im sure it will be sorted in no time Luke, i hate vandals with a passion.

[Luke]

Me aswell now mate, like my Dad said something may never happen to my car again but nevermind.

I told the insurance that a stone did on the motorway, because it's pointless going through the police and getting a crime number.

[chelle]

RAC did mine luke and did a good job. i went to the police station about mine they gave me a crime number the insurance didnt even ask for it

[Luke]

Yeah, it was actually the RAC people who asked how it was done actually not the insurance.

I'm glad they have done a good job on yours Chelle, but any little mistake and I'll be straight onto them.

[Barry123]

RAC replaced my windscreen (they did it shite) :)

[Luke]

Well if they do a shite job on this, I'll be onto them like a ton of bricks. I'd rather Autoglass did it, but nevermind.

My Dad has just been out in the car with me and he said it's come through the otherside as you can feel the crack, so it's quite severe.

[Kelly]

should you really be driving about in your car then? surely the police would pull you over for it?

[Luke]

I probably shouldn't be driving it no, I keep expecting the window going in. I reckon it will be fixed though tomorrow or Wednesday, if not I'll borrow Louises car.

I think police would probably pull me aswell yeah.

[Kelly]

I probably shouldn't be driving it no, I keep expecting the window going in. I reckon it will be fixed though tomorrow or Wednesday, if not I'll borrow Louises car.

I think police would probably pull me aswell yeah.

borrow louises car if she'll let you. if it falls in on you then you could get bits of glass in your eyes then you've got an even bigger problem on your hands

[Barry123]

I had the tiniest scratch on my windscreen and it failed an MOT. A giant crack would probably fail too. best to be on safe side.

Kelly, the windscreen glass is laminated i.e. doesnt shatter.

[Luke]

Yeah true Kelly, I'll make sure it's fixed for Sunday at the meet.

I should be ok though for next couple of days, I'm only using it for work and back (6 miles a day) but I'll see what they say tomorrow when I get a phonecall.

Bloody lucky it didn't go through when the brick hit it.

[Luke]

Update..

Well they didn't ring me this morning as they said they would, so I phoned them after lunch and said it was urgent so I wanted it doing ASAP. Only problem is I had to take it to them because it was raining and the glue wouldn't set otherwise. Took them 2 hours and she is now proudly sat on my drive again and I feel much better knowing it's complete again.

Just had to pay the £50 and he assured me again he won't effect my NCB. On the worksheet he put my car was SILVER....erm no it's ICELANDIC GREY.

[FoxyVts]

Glad u got it sorted! It's best to of got it done sooner rather than later! Are u happy wit the job? Even thou they got ur colour wrong. When i got mine done the repairers said it was a 106, wen it isnt! Silly people, dont no their cars these days eh?

[Barry123]

Keep an eye out for any leaks luke. Not suggesting that there might be, just after my experience I'm always cautious with people doing stuff to my car.

[Luke]

Job looked fine in the workshop when I picked it up, but it was dark so didn't manage a full inspection. I'll check it tomorrow lunchtime but it's guaranteed for 3 years anyway againist any uncalled for breakages and leaks.

Just need to put my tax back in car now, wherever it is.
