Toadster, I feel for you. Not what you deserve at all.
Some people don’t give a t**s what they do to other people’s cars.

I always try to park in a quiet spot away from other cars. If not possible, I look to park next a more valuable car than mine, and hope it will be safe.

I remember one 5th gen owner had some side protectors - was it Carrisma?

Not me.

Lo

My Lude went into body shop yesterday

Hopefully they do a good job

Have a Skoda Fabia as a courtesy car.
Quite nippy for only a 1 litre also it evens out the awful roads better than the Lude

I didn't realise it had engine off and restart.
That was a bit of a surprise

I thought I had stalled it

I think they will have the car for a week so will post up some pics

Cheers

Engine start/stop is a bit of an acquired taste thing, isn't it.
Hope you're pleased with the lude when you get it back from the bodyshop!

Yep
I had a load of paintwork done a few month's ago.
I had bonnet and front bumper and boot and rear bumper done.
He did a great job
