Had a great day out today - thanks to Colin for arranging things. It was good to meet some new faces & always enjoyable to catch up with members i already know. The day was spoilt on my way home when i stopped off at Wetherby services to have a coffee with some friends that happened to be in the area. As usual i parked as far away from other cars as possible & as usual some one came & parked next to me - i saw the back door of their car come open but didn't make it in time to stop the young girl throwing the door into the back quarter of my car . Luckily it has missed the body but has damaged the chrome strip. As it was a child who had done it i said nothing but had words with the childs dad when he was about to do the same again - i was stunned when i was told i had bad manners.

Anyway Ross took a few pictures but not until quite late so didn't get all the cars that attended

Sorry to hear about that, I know you take a lot of pride in the car, and when you park away from other, and get car damaged, and then to be told that, is an utter disgrace.

Did you get his registration number /

Stu

PS tell Ross he takes a very good photo !!!!!!!

How long did it take him this time ?

Only minor damage Stu so not worth bothering about - it just annoys me that it had to be my car out of all the ones in the car park. I have a spare moulding anyway but just need to get some new clips.

Ross says it didn't take long as there was so much to choose from

Sorry to hear about your car.....................really annoying but sadly unavoidable in this day & age..................mind you I remember clanging the door of my dad's Fiesta into a lamppost one day well he shouldn't have parked there

There must be a problem with Ross's camera or he had it on the black & white setting
