Strange scratches

[MikeB]

Just babying the car this pm, and was going to remove some scratches which I had noticed on the drivers side rear bumper panel just behind the rear wheel.

There were originally 3 vertical scratches about 2cm apart which I noticed just after it had been parked in the garage 4 weeks ago for the first time. The car is usually kept under an indoor cover, but I don't think I did this on the first night or on a few nights since then. I put the torch on it today and over an 8" square patch there are loads of mainly horizontal scratches about 18" off the ground, which have cut into the paintwork. It wouldn't be grit off the road as its round the corner from the rear tyre.

The rest of the paintwork is immaculate.

I thought it might be rodents but the only ones we have round here are mice and field mice with stumpy legs. Any clues anyone? Is a nightime vigil with the shotgun the answer?

Setup CCTV and you'll notice it was done by the worst kind of vermin alive...Chavs!

What kind of animal is a CHAV? Could stones have been thrown from the front tire to scratch there?? You have the 305's don't you?? I have yet to see a Paris to Dakar version of the R 8. I really think the R8 would do as well as the Porsche 959 Paris to Dakar if not BETTER. It was the 959 that led to the R 8 styling.IMHO

What do you call a chav over in the US?

[harrison]

Google is my freind, Chavs' over here are HOOLIGANS. We want to stay away on the HOOLIGANS HOLIDAY !!! You car may get flipped over and set on fire. Usually when the L.A. Lakers win a championship.

Female wrestling of all varieties (mud, jell-o, oil) always draws true sportsmen
