Inversed Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Somebody keyed my GT86 few years back... just plain silly.. I'm a bit paranoid that it will happen to my Exige aswell, as it willl stand out even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James DG Posted July 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Sorry to hear that. To be fair, I have parked a succession of Elises and an Exige out on the street in London for over 12 years and this is the first time anything has happened. I also have mates who have had the most innocuous cars imaginable keyed. Just sheer bad luck to cross paths with a cretin, I suppose.

Bibs Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 That's grim, feel for you. While it's not any consolation, it's a very rare occurrence usually to Lotus cars. 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

ramjet Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 It's something that I don't understand. Just jealousy I think.

James DG Posted July 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Unbelievable. I saw a video of a woman who was repeatedly keying some chaps Audi on her way to work. She was caught on a dashcam and taken to court. Apparently the reason she gave was that he was blocking a driveway. His driveway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADF Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Thats pretty crap. Only one word SCUM, is deletion to harsh for such morons? Years ago my dad was visiting a friend in his elan and some tosser slashed the tyres, probably on their way back from the pub. Couldnt be personal as not from the area, Is this jealousy?

Trevxige Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Nightmare James DG, hard luck, around here in Somerset a group of youngsters have taken to kicking wing mirrors off of rows of parked cars at night, and even police cars that have attended get the same treatment, some of today's youth have had zero discipline in their lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark248am Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I had to install security cameras and get car covers for my cars after someone keyed my 1970 Alfa GTV. Even with the covers on I still have kids removing them to take photos with my cars 😡 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOTUSMAN33 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Mindless idiots and no doubt the green eyed monster was coming out, I bought a Stevens Turbo once with some very graphical engravings applied by someone, it was really embarrassing driving it home with people pointing and coming up with assumptions! 😬 I hope you get it sorted soon and it doesn’t put you off ownership.
