why do i bother........

i like my cars to be mint, as i am sure most on this forum do.

last year i got the new (at that point) 172 de-dented, after that about 2 months ago i got the front end sprayed, along with the back bumper and mirrors to really tidy it up, it was spotless, one of the mintest ph1 172's in the club i would hope.

then my dad reverses along the back of my car with his scratching the weekly new sprayed rear bumper...ok so that needs to be done again...

then last night mr badger decided to waltz out infront of my car, i have smashed the front bumper, the passenger side arch liner (just replaced the drivers side at £70) and possibly the fog light.

after only 2 months of spraying all the bits that are now damaged again i am just p*ssed of and wondering whether its worth the hassle,

p*ssed off rant over

Same thing always happens to me in fu*kin car parks, got 3 scratch lines all in same place where a woman in a bloody 4x4 repeatedly opened door on me

At least you didn't swerve to avoid the badger and end up ditching the whole car and injuring yourself.
 
Sometimes I think this, but then when everythings perfect, it's worth it, even if it doesn't last long lol.

Hopefully you've had your run of bad luck.

cat i did kill it yeah, saw it this morning, didn't bother stopping last night

Unlucky mate :(

Did your dad leave a note or offer to pay?

he didn't truthfully thought he'd done it initially, then i worked out he did, then he offered to pay, but made me feel guilty about it.

thats what i was thinking as i was about to hit it, no point in swerving, you could loose control, managed to get it on the passenger side though instead of the centre of the car

That's just unlucky! Always the way though. When I scratched my alloy, a week after I got it repaired I scratched it again! Doh!

well been down a mates garage tonight, 1 is a sprayer the other a mechanic so best of both worlds. now know what i need

New front bumper
Arch liners
new radiator
new air con radiator
then the air con needs redoing

so its going to be a fair old whack............



think i have decided though now that once this is sorted and the car is back to mint it will be up for sale, its a minter when perfect but me and this car haven't got along from the start...the for sale ad will be going up very soon, just need to think up something else now

I am starting to feel the same as you dude...

I just seem to keep spending money on this car, the last 2 months its had:

Cam belt
Aux belt
gearbox oil
plugs
oil + filter

Ill be needing a new aircon radiator i think?

Plus the Tax needs doing this week!

And in a few thousand miles ill need 4 new tyres.. the wheels could also do with a refurb :(


But when everything is working and the car is fine.... It does bring a big smile to my face driving it :D

Unlucky dude :(

Not often (if ever) I would say this about a Ph1, but I think that car needs to go mate, it's not been a lucky one for you has it?
 
always seems in good nick when i've seen it... he's taken his private plate off it now by the looks of things. Its quite loud
