i am so annoyed

jimjamjohnny · 24th May 2009, 09:06

whilst driving home from a wedding reception
last night, in my lovely clean freshly polished ZT
some dirtbag *****ole dropped something off a bridge
which landed on my bonnet
on closer inspection in my garage i found a dent
the size of a 50p piece and about 5/10mm deep almost
plum in the middle of my bonnet

jeez i wish i could have 5 mins alone with these cretins
i work so hard,so that these people(i use the term loosely)
can stay in bed all day, and roam the streets at night
and now to me anyway,my lovely well cared for car
looks tut.............
so my question is, could this dent be pulled out?
if so does anyone know of anyone?
i'm in the north kent area,10 mins from dartford bridge tolls
kents newest car park.......

Can you get at the underside of the dent? Or it it on a double skinned bit? If its only little you should be ok to gently tease it out with a hammer and a block behind it and a cloth, saying this is reminding me of that father ted episode with the car for the raffle! But seriously take your time you'll be suprised how well you can get them out, I would give it a go if you're willing to call someone in to do it for you then you might aswell, whats the worst that can happen!

I'm a Southerner, but I have lived in the North East since 1986. My experience is that, if you have a nice house or car, Southern "have nots" (without wishing to insult anybody) would say "With luck and hard work, we'll have something like that someday".

Conversely, the Northern equivalent is "We'll take that off him by any dirty means at our disposal". Which is precisely what they did to me.......

Which explains why Northern people with ability flock to the South, and woe betide anyone who does the reverse!

Sounds as though attitudes are equalising to the lowest common denominator now, though!

Sorry to hear about your dent, John. If it can't be knocked out you could try looking for a second hand bonnet. Could be easier and cheaper to replace the whole things, although I have no experience to back that statment up!

If you look up SMART repairs in the yellow pages you should find someone that will help remove the damage. They are quite reasonable.

Halfords do a very good repair service too. There are also people who will come to your home or works.
