Was gonna say, I carried a trolley jack bar in my old mini. Not because i'm a thug but some situations i've experienced didnt make me feel safe just driving the streets!!

Gutting to see that happen to someones car, I just hope the details are legit and you can get it all sorted and rinse the twat for all he's worth.

It is all very well carrying a bar about, but in the situation above what are you going to do with it? Hit him with it and all of a sudden all the witnesses are ringing the police to report an assault, and the damage to the car is forgotten about and you are in more bother than the BAC who rammed you in the first place.

Wise words. I'm glad I don't have anything of the above in my car or else I may just use it.

Agreed i'd never use it if I was pissed off. But if I felt threatened I wouldn't hesitate getting it out, but never with the intention of hurting someone. In situations where my stuff is being trashed like my car i'd deffo think about whipping it out and give some back!

Been in a couple of scenario's on my pushbike, where ppl in slow moving traffic give you zero room and just have no consideration at all! Booted a wing mirror off this chumps mk4 golf when they where released - gave me some room afterwards!

I'm sorry buddy but that is bollocks in my opinion. If you get a weapon out then you ought to be prepared to use it. All you risk otherwise is whoever it is taking it off you and beating you with it.

Ive been to the police, and even to the station and theyre just not interested because noone is injured, she advised me i could "put in a whiplash report" and then they can look into it, hes going to get away with his road rage and thats what annoys me the most. I could never lie to police about things though.

Yes there were loads of witnesses, one saying she could see the anger in his eyes before he hit me the final two times after my car had stopped.

If he gets the police after him though, theres less chance he will pay for the damage. Just gutted really!

Take the insurers for a full respray, then you can sort the rust while your at it.

P.s Your not allowed to change the color of your car!

It's frustrating I know, but he hasn't really got away with it. He'll be out of pocket and considering your paint that could be quite a lot. If he drove off then it would be a lot worse. Just get all you can out of him!

I carnt get the proper angles to show the colour properly but you get the idea.
Not sure if its right will have to have a look with the car.
Is working out about £260 per US pint. Thats just the colour not base not laquer or anything else.

a twat smashed into the back of me when i was stationary on a flat junction before, tried to blame me. in the end his insurance company threatened to drop him and let him fight it on his own.

i had a bad neck from that, got about 2k*wink*

oh, and i dont condone violence, but one day he will do that to the wrong person and get himself really hurt. i know a few boys who would have put him in hospital if he had done that to them...as for the police, they never want to know about real crime. its all about targets and speed tickets.

I had a near miss yesterday, someone pulled out streight in front of me at a cross roads, I just nipped round him on the other side of the road, but if anything had been coming I would have just had to T-bone him.

Bet he shat himself though!

People like this really make me sick. Not liking waiting is no excuse. Would he have done the same to a ferrari, which isn't built to as higher standard as your car. BAC
