Car park damage - Kentboy - 29-08-2012 04:47pm
Gutted as its only the first real journey we have taken the new RRE on and parked the car in the hotel car park on the end of a row as far from the next space as possible. Come back today to a very deep gouge in the drivers door where some moron has opened their door on my car. It has just ruined a few days holiday.
Why do people not care at all when opening their door.

These people make my blood boil, is it just envy or ignorance, either way it is disgraceful behaviour and lacking any moral respect.
Again I ask the question were there cameras in the car park? Because if there were I'd be on to the hotel immediately to try and find the culprit.

Unbelievable and sorry to hear that - gutting. If the paint isn't broken you should be able to get the dent pushed out hopefully

Feel for you buddy, so many people see not to care about what damage they cause. I am always so careful not to knock the car at the side of me, even open the rear doors for the kids and place my hand so that it is between our car and the car next door just in case. Even if its some old POS its still some else's property.
But so many people seem to not give a damn its shameful.

Me too Dave, I always try to park so that no one needs to have problems getting out their car but sometimes that means they can 'throw' the door open.
Sometimes, and again right now, I feel that I will never buy a new car again as its too much of a burden.

Hi WB, the paint is broken and I am bothered at getting it fixed properly so you can't see it.

Hi Evo-King, they did have CCTV but not on that part of the car park. I feel the spaces are too narrow for today's cars which doesn't help. I was super cautious as many year ago I had the very same experiance in the same hotel just three weeks into my BMW Z3 when they first came out!
