Just lucky it wasn’t Lidl! :shock:
We visited an Aldi the other day and my parking paranoia went into overdrive! :shock:

Second episode of unwanted attention that my T has attracted in its 13 months, Mike. :(

First was a deliberate scratch with a knife or similar that I haven’t got around to sorting yet...
For what it’s worth WingCo ChipsAway did a fantastic, invisible repair on my car (rear wheel arch through to bare metal where someone had caught it in a car park (Sainsbury’s as it happens) and a bare metal chip by the headlight from debris thrown up on the motorway). I can’t imagine your scratch would be more that a couple of hundred quid for an invisible repair.

Could this be the result of your colour choice. Society impinging on personal freedom. So sad.

Quite possibly, Mike, as I was discussing with a neighbour earlier today. I love the Racing Yellow, and it makes me smile, but it is bound to attract more attention (some of it unwanted) than a more subtle colour choice (black, grey, silver, white etc) :(

I’m just relieved that ‘he’ didn’t use a knife, screwdriver or similar...

Grrrrrrrrr! :x
Good news, well done!

Ferdie, yep sorry I'm a newbie here. And I just wonder - is there any tap and die toolsets (like these: https://cozyhousetoday.com/how-to-use-tap-and-die-set), but not universal, and specially for 911 ?.. I think to make a present for husband, and don't want to ask him about it of course, because it should be unexpectedly. Thanks in advance.
