Be Careful who you park next to

How'do folks

My Car is still (semi) off the road - I've been enjoying the warmer weather and a bit of a holiday (at home) - so i still have a few parts to source

I drove the car yesterday - which i'm glad i did - when i came home another car had parked a bit close to MY space (lol.... i like the same spot

) i decided as the other car was looking a bit worse for wear i'd give a bigger distance between us than i might normally...

TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS

when i came out this morning

i thought that is a lot of bird poop on the roof of that car.............NOT bird poop.

i took a couple of pics when i returned home - and parked well away

He's been on that space-saver for weeks too - (normally parks in the next street over from me)

I know brake fluid will make a mess of paint - this looks like it's been Nitro-Mors or such.

I know who owns the car, so i think it is not a random act of Vandalism - Also the Culprit seems to have taken care not to get any on other cars - Doesn't excuse it, i'm just glad no other cars were affected.

Paul.

O.M.G!!! What a thing to find when you go out to your pride and joy . Bring back hanging ,electric chair or shot in the face ? Atleast they have a choice .

I had a jealous x years ago that throw brake fluid over my Rover sd1 V8,BUT i had only waxed and polished her the day previous and a wash with warm water got it all of and NO damage thank god.She was arrested for attempted criminal damage.

So maybe keeping them waxed and polished also protects as per the Mer advert....Unlike this car

I think a Scorned Female may be responsible for this one too.

I like my Car, however it is just a Car - No need to be extreme r.e the how those responsible should be treated

Million times it has gone through my head to vandalise someone's car when he/she did a right dodgy move on it (and when you ride a bike that happens a lot), but then I remember it's not the car's fault and the driver could be borrowing it off someone else.

It's not nice to see that happen.

It is strange this revenge damage AND very often I've noticed it's either an Audi, BMW or Range Rover related.

Wonder if its the type of folk who own those brands?!!
Obviously I'm not tarring everyone with the same brush but it still happens all too often to those brands

I hate to be the bearer of bad news Jules, but sadly the entire MG-R fleet here is out of service... so I'll be dropping off in the BMW.
