I’m starting to think about getting a second car here, we have a little van already but it’s just 2 seats which is a bit of a ballache when anyone visits or for the future when there are kids around.
Peugeot 204 Coupé de 1967 à vendre - voiture ancienne de collection tempted by something along this style.

your whole feelings about safety will change when you have a tiny baby in the back seat
it’s not romantic or fun but a reliable runabout that’s got 5 doors will make your life 100x easier if there is any more than 3 of you
Trust me, I have 2 kids and a 2017 RAV4, Estonia’s most popular car for like 10 years running

I wouldn’t have been caught dead in a rav4 10 years ago and now it’s so mind numbingly boring and pedestrian I love it

Some Michael Fabricant has done this and then driven off.
Think I know who it is. What do I do?
Going to be a shitter to prove. Any CCTV cameras that might of picked it up? Can you casually snoop at the car that might of done it and take some pics?

Unfortunately unless you have video proof its a non starter. Been there before.
Looks like you maybe able to get the door card off, pour a kettle of boiling water on the dent and boot it out to save any repair or insurance excess.

Spoke to my neighbour she knows the guy, called him and he came back.
Tried the kettle no dice, but he has agreed to pay for repairs, just waiting on some quotes.
I have his phone number and a pic of his registration. He’s a sketchy fuck basically trying to offer me weed and coke for the damage, but my neighbour bollocked him for driving off haha - so he shouldn’t be hard to find again. I think its her boyfriend.

Whenever you deal with shit like this @nedertron and they try to palm you off the perfect thing to say is “I just want it back as it was before”. Real simple.
But yeah easy to say if he’s sketchy
Yer thats what I said to him.
My neighbour downstairs says you don’t wanna fuck with his Mrs and she is fucking livid at him for this.
Sure it will be fine, like I said got his plate if he’s being a knob.

Probably because google felt sorry for someone in Australia being forced to add “uk” to the end of most searches he does.

Went to my friends car meet today. This is his ‘mad mini’
Built it when he was 16, roof chop, the flames are metal and has a R1 engine in it as well

That’s completely mental. When I was that age my mate Fang had a black mini with flames. Worst ride ever, death trap.
That is fucking ugly as hell! (pardon the pun) but should he have done it at all? hell yeah! (pardon the pun)
props!

It’s not to my taste either, but I can appreciate the work gone into it. It has chopped doors as well.
He has a clubman estate like mine as well but it’s off the road at the moment

If anything could he have made the black window casing a bit thicker?!?
are those m-style door mirrors?!?
This car is like kryptonite to me, I hate it but each to his own.
Like @jimo I also have memories of a stage 1 mini I took a ride in that I will never forget for all the wrong reasons

It looks like a bumper car or a waltzer carriage.
