Change of pace here folks. It took a tad less than 10 weeks for my shiny new Golf to cop its first damage. Some loser in a public car park grazed it as they pulled in to the bay next to mine, and naturally they took off without leaving any contact details. It's going to be a pain in the neck (and also the wallet) getting by without the car while it gets repaired, but I guess that is part of the joy of car ownership.

Question time - who else has had this kind of trouble not long after delivery, and what were the circumstances? Can anyone top 10 weeks to their first significant damage?
