Yoghurt thrown over my car!

Bernard LPG · 14th April 2009, 18:23

Some yob threw a pot of yoghurt up our drive out of a passing car last night. Now this is would have been a gross insult had it hit the 75, however it hit the sacrificial Mercedes, so not so bad. I know that this behaviour is nothing compared with what is going on in the world but so unnecessary.

The Mercedes can consider itself lucky to get away so lightly for all the trouble it gave me last week with failure of windscreen wipers, horn, window winders and central locking. Oh, and the wing mirror fell apart. That's Mercedes quality for you! At least the yoghurt covers some of the rust patches.

yes Bernard some sad people out there, but as you say could have been a lot worse. lets hope whoever it was doesnt discover what brake fluid on paint can do

Bizarre...and leaves one feeling incensed at the moronic stupidity of it all...

I expect the Merc was more in need of 'culture' than the Rover was!

There are some odd people out there... what ever happened to respect!

There are some ear holes about.

Least you can make a cheesecake with it, or a nice spoon of strawberry jam.

It was a Muller yogurt, perhaps the culprit tasted it, found it disgusting and saw something in common with its German origin. I think that mine is the only Merc in the village. Rain will wash it off eventually, the yoghurt, that is. Maybe the Merc too the way it's rusting.

My car gets covered in yoghurt and milk on an almost daily basis. I tried to enforce a water only policy for the back seat dwellers but Mrs Efreeti claims such a policy borders on child cruelty when applied to our two toddlers.

Cruel! They are lucky to be allowed in the car at all :lol:

That's the problem with Tourers - you cannot lock the little people in the boot where they should be kept

dont want to start another thread,but, its gone downhill since the do-gooders said it was wrong to smack your kids.
there is no law in this country that says you cann't "smack" your kids.
there is one that say's you cann't beat them.
me thinks some need a good beating not a smack.

"print and be damned"
