Ah man thats terrible news :). I'd at least have the decency to approach you and at least offer you £40 so that you could get it fixed.

Its scum like him that give youths a bad name, although saying that, 90% are little sh*ts anyway.


90% of who?

Slightly sad news on Arthur :thumbsup:
.......... ............ ...........
The problem with having such love and passion for minis is that when they get hurt it hurts me too! :w00t:


I now have some suckers (dent pullers) they were very cheap so they'll probably be useless but worth a try when Arthur is next in Somerset.


Arthur (Minimininut's Mini City - Yes the one with the dented door who (which) was the main concern of this thread seems to have been slightly forgotten with all the chat on what percentage of today's youth can be trusted to be responsible for their actions etc.) has now been down to Somerset and had the cheap suckers applied to his passenger door:

The sucker-pullers did enable us to reduce the depressed area around the main scar line of the dent but the line still remained. We decided to attack it from inside the door - of course it was not in line with any of the cut-outs in the inner panel, so with an old soup spoon (nice smooth rounded surface) taped to to bent piece of steel bar, pressure was applied from within...
If was very awkward to see if the spoon was pressing in the right place, and if I had been blessed with a great deal more skill, I would be able to report that the patient is now fully recovered.

All I can say is that he has made a fairly good recovery and the patient is now as well as can be expected (the epidermis is still intact - no skin-graft required) - but there is some slight scarring (unevenness) from the operation!

Good to hear the Mini has had it's treatment and is feeling a lot better now.
