Hit and Run - B@st@rds!!!

Postby eskimo » Sat Dec 08, 2007 7:08 pm

Hey,

i was a victim of a hit and run on friday, parked my car up the road from work in parnell, cam back at lunch to go get a bite to eat and founf it like this. No note at all, just pisses you off so much.

Its insured but im under 21 so my excess is around 1k, and i dotn have that lying around this time of the year. No one saw anything so I have to pay for it to be fixed.

The pait has split at te very top of the dent so will require some paint work so that really sucks.

If any one can recomend a good panal beater in South Auckland/Puke please let me know.

Cheers.

That looks more like someone kicked it, than a hit and run!

I'd give dent magic a call and see if they can get it out without bog and panel work. they will come and do a free quote.

... a dent cause by someones foot grrr...

I wouldn't recommend Brian Roberts in Pukekohe, had my car back 3 times before I said $&#$% off & took it elsewhere, don't think my insurance company was that happy either. To top if off I'm still finding & fixing things they didn't do properly!!!!

Yea it sucks, its not a foot, you can see scrape marks from a black bumper, didnt show up on camera.

Yea was gonna call dent magic, but the paint has cracked at the top of the dent. im kinda fussy so want it fixed as the car is going up for sale at the end of january

I'm pretty sure you can get a ticket for doing that...

I'm all for having council operated cameras all round major traffic/parking areas. Catch the f*Ckers who break into the cars and the ones who just break them.

The g/f's car was damaged in a similar manner last night parked outside my house, again with no note or anything. First I knew was the g/f coming in just after midnight saying the car was making a funny noise so she stopped and found the damage so parked the car at the top of the road (big hill) so as not to damage it further.

I can't understang people who are too self-centred to want to own up to their own mistakes. :evil: :evil: At least in my case it is fairly obvious which driveway the car that hit the g/f's must have reversed out of... I'm off over there shortly to have a weeeeee chat with them...
We know that four-wheel drive doesn't work in a racing car, and I proved to myself that it doesn't work very well for rallycross. I'm absolutely convinced that it has no future in rallying, either, even if the regulations allowed it. - Roger Clark (rallying legend), circa 1976
