It seems people that park near my office believe my car is either invisible or immune to knocks and bumps.
In less than 3 weeks I have had a scratch on the side a melon sized dent in my boot and now a bent out of shape grill.
When will it end.

They have bent the surroundings aswell, keep looking at grills online but am not sure which is the OG for the 1.3i 94 does anyone know?

Anyone have any tips for getting people not to drive into my car while I am not there?

fit old car tyres to sides front and back like tug boats have that should do the trick

I feel your pain, which is why I no longer drive to work!

Any cctv in the area? Someone at our place got disciplined for hitting a car in the work car park and not reporting it!

that should be standard on your mini,

is there no where else to park?

while i was sat in my min, a car swung into the space next to me. the chap parked proper wonky mainly due to the fact that i was parked quite far into my bay allowing him to cut the corner and get into his easier.

so anyway the passenger side of their car was on the line of the bay with my car.

so his misses opens her door full force straight into my car, while im sat in it.
i wound down the window as i couldnt get out and ask what the hell she thought she was doing.
she looked at me as though she'd done nothing.

i said it was perfectly clear that she was wayy too large to squeeze through the gap her chaps ******* parking had left her and that he needs to move his car.

he then came round so i gave him a bollocking for his $hite parking.

however my rant may have been a little premature as for some unknown reason which is very unlike me, my door caught their car when i was getting back in.


it irritates me that people dont appreciate that minis arent made from plastic and take a lot to maintain and keep on the road.

any rant over and breath *sigh*

Cheers for the link to the grill, considering getting a wavy one now that this one is bent.

Through out my day my car is parked in 3 different places.

Outside my gf's house (Tight parking Muse)
Outside the office ( Tight high street parking)
Round corner from office(Tight housing where people get as close as possible to avoid driveways)

Everyone here drives rangerovers and pretty big cars I assume when they reverse they cant even see my car.

It just frustrates me, I drive carefully maintain my car, make sure I park nicely all these things and someone else is the reason I keep having to shell out money.

people look at my car and think I am a bad driver when I haven't hit anyone!

I think a window sticker of "bump my car and ill break your nose" may suffice. ( or make people want to hit it more....)

once whilst at my bosses wedding reception i'd parked my megane in an almost empty carpark, most of the guests had got taxis so the could enjoy the free pissup, anyhow when it came time to leave I walked around the building to see some arse in a range rover had reversed straight into the back of my car with a tow bar on and just left it there still attached to my car, even though the car park was still empty.
so if you ever see a range rover with a rather large foot print embeded into the side of it, dont park near it

Its never ending.
I just pulled up to my drive and was sat across it for about 5 minutes my mum was in her car ( BMW company car driver/shes not the best driver in the world)
Reverses off our drive straight into the back side of me.
Then pulls forward and reverses into me again!!!!

Claiming she thought she hit the fence!

Somehow miraculously there isnt even a scratch on my car... but I have this sick feeling inside that I am missing something and that she broke him.

Why is loving your car so hard.
