To each his own
Are there a lot of french cars in the UK? Here i guess they're more into the VW Group.

Theres plenty of those too.... think the costs are slightly more prohibitive. The maxpower / fastcar scene does my nut in. These morons spend 3 times the value of the car on extras which come standard in cars costing half the overall cost.

How about it DCS540i. What's the prevailing attitude over there towards foreign cars from Germany and the toadeaters?
Prevailing attitudes...well German cars are certainly the best and everyone knows it; French cars are cheap, well styled and good handlers, so they have a place in society! No-one would just throw paint stripper on a Saxo because its French, it must be personal. If you saw the number of French cars around, you would think we were best buddies....but, er, were not

French cars are insitutionally tuned here, Citroens, Peugeots (Pugs), Renaults have all got decent hot hatches, which can be tuned to deliver decent performance for small £'s
Yeah, German cars are definetly the most popular, especially silver one! I live in one of three houses in the middle of nowhere..the courtyard has two Mercs, Three BMWs, a Porsche and two VWs...there are more cars than people! I think we forgave the Germans


Yeah that Max Power thing is very irritating- especially the pretenders. If I see another 1.2 Nova in shit brown with a bad tint, a nasty stereo and a dustbin exhaust, im gonna kill someone

Dude, one time I saw a guy I knew in a car, so I pulled up next to him, I was about to say something when his friend hocked the hugest loogie you can imadgine and it landed from my front fender to the back of my door!!! I was soo pissed!! I should of just gotten out of the car and beaten the crap out of the guy!!! The person that was driving I didn't know though, so I didn't want to start something with her. But damn I was so mad.


About a week later, someone else spat on my car on the rear fender in a parking lot. What's with these haters dude??

Wow....if it'd been me, I would've hoped I cared less about the grrrl b/c personally, if I did that to someone, I'd be expecting something physical - unless it was an accident and he was being an idiot and wasn't paying attention to where he was spitting. If not, that the next worst thing to taking a leak if he did it purposely.

If that other guy anywhere close to being your friend, he should've bitch slapped the guy just before you did. Just MO.

You just don't mess w/a man's car - it's an act of a total coward.

Clearly he meant to spit on my car, I have no idea why, I didn't even know the guy. He stuck his head out the windown and spit a huge lookie into the air. It still makes me mad to think of it

had my car... out of about 20,000 in attendance.. broken into and had over 1600 dollars worth of shit stolen... then... they decided to take whatever they broke the window with and bash the shit outta the side of the car as well... fun times..

basically what it comes down to is jealousy and ignorance....

i guess you could be flattered that your car was soo nice to someone and they knew they could never match you to where it drove them wild enough to take action against it... i know you would rather not get such attention.. but.. you drive a nice BMW.. attention is inherent...

Um, I've shit on someone's car before. Don't ask the details but he was asking for it. =). As for the spit, I've been hit in the head with a jelly donut driving in my 528 before. I would let someone spit on my car over being hit by a fuqn donut. Hell, at least I got a free breakfast. Don't sweat the punks. However with some of the posts on this thread I somehow doubt these were random acts. 2 acts of vandalism in 4 days means your list of enemies is probably longer than ricky lakes grocery list.

Ha! Funny this thread popped up. This past weekend, I was on a club drive, and we stopped in this small town for lunch. So, I parked my car on the street next to this restaurant, with a dining area deck on the roof. So, after lunch, I come back to my car only to discover that some bastard had thrown ketchup-covered fries at my car. I had left cracks in the windows b/c it was so hot, and some of the ketchup-covered fries had baked onto my leather interior. To top it all off, I found pickles in my rims. Pickles!

A lot of sensless car vandalism. I have only one act commited on my m3 and that is someone throwing nachos on the side of my car, I had the luck of not noticing they had been there the whole night and 90 degree day. So they baked on nice n good. For any of you thinking nacho cheese is a good wax, it ain't. I have no enemies, that I know of, this happened at my college. I had just washed the car that day, so I am guessing some fools see this nice shiny car all nice and clean and say lets trash this clean nice car. Stupid rednecks should be choked to death by their own mullet!
