Nelly 186 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Jealousy, and there are plenty of people around sadly. Even sadder is that I bet the person who did this doesn't even know the owner (but I could be wrong).. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest surferphil Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 All sorts of people, I have been tempted but opted not to because it wasn't the car I wanted to hit. I have more respect for property than I do for most people. Seriously though the only way to find out is to know the whole story. What car is it? Looks like a supra. ... Could just be theft, if you wanted to smash a car up you'd do every panel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBD 781 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 If its only one car things aren't so bad.

NedaSay 835 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 a bunch of idiots did set on fire some young woman's BMW M5 last year in Vancouver after the Canucks lost the Game 7 of the NHL finals! The car was declared a total loss and the insurance contracted by the young driver was not suficiant to cover it! The sucky part was that it was a leasing plan and she's still paying for a M5 that has burned to the ground! Believe there are plenty of idiots and dumb asses everywhere!

Mark Blanchard 1,642 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Be careful where you park! And having a red car doesn't help. When I've parked in rough areas I've had trouble, like people jumping in my car / nicking stuff off it. Round where I work in Belgravia I see the same new Astons and Bentleys parked up every day and they don't get keyed or vandalised. Park them up in Brixton and they wont last long! I know people sometimes don't have the choice but then keep it garaged and locked. Edited April 4, 2012 by Mark B Quote Mark www.lotusespritturbo.com Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy 26 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 During a live interview with Jodie Marsh, Kerrang 105.2's Tim Shaw told the glamour model he was prepared to leave his wife and their two children for her. Wife Hayley was listening and said her husband's flirtatious interview was the 'last straw' in their relationship. After having a few drinks and while her husband was still in the studio presenting his show, she posted an advert on eBay for the Lotus Esprit Turbo with a 'Buy It Now' option of 50p. The item description read: 'I need to get rid of this car in the next two to three hours before my husband gets home to find it gone and all his belongings in the street.' The car sold within five minutes. LEW Quote Лотос - для тех которые знают разницу ENIGMA for those who are paranoid or download one Link to post Share on other sites

tcole6 1 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Love the new color, the interior color is horrid and should have been changed as well IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
