Who's touched-up another vehicle, then done a runner?

I seriously doubt anyone will

Who's touched-up another vehicle, then done a runner?

I genuinely thought this meant - "who's seen a sexy car, stroked it a little bit, got caught and run off?"

lol...I've done this too

[ill0gitech]

I won't admit to that either for fear of self-incrimination

Sucks man, I see things like this all the time in car parks and it makes me rage so much.

Come on.. that feeling of a knuckle softly gliding over a freshly waxed surface..

Many years ago (over 20) I had a Torana. A moment's inattention saw me run up the back of a Camira wagon. Fortunately the Camira wagon tailgate incorporated part of the rear bumper and was really strong. My Torana saw its heavy steel front bumper flattened, and a driving light was pushed through the plastic radiator grille.

Well, it did not affect the performance of the car, so even though I had bought a new bumper, I had not fitted it. I was working in Eastwood and parked in one of the side streets. One day, when I got to the car after work to drive home, I noticed a note under the wiper. It was written with a very shaky hand where the girl apologised profusely for reversing into my car and damaging the front bumper!

Apparently, she was reversing back in front of my car and misjudged the distance. When she touched my Torana, she got out and thought that it was her little touch that caused flattened bumper. Actually I could not even tell where she bumped it.

She did leave her name and telephone number so I rang it when I got home. Her brother answered the phone and I told him what had happened and that she had not caused any damage. He said he would tell her...eventually.

hahah good work.

I was running late for a gig and parked way too quickly clipping the back of a van. Got out and wrote a note with my name and number etc on it. Then realised the van was for the HOuse with No Steps charity. Felt pretty low at this point.

Few days later they called and said don't worry about it and thanks for leaving the note. Karma

One day, I hope to meet this person named Karma.

I backed into an old volvo once and seriously gave it thought. I was in my kombi, no damage other than a cracked taillight. Then thought naah and started writing the note. And then figured I could be just pretending to write a note in case anyone was watching. But then thought naah and left the real note.

Couple of hours later I get an abusive phone call and wished I had of did a runner.

A couple of days later I got a phone call from my insurance company saying they had lodged a claim for a hyundai. I'm no car encyclopedia, but I reckon I've kinda got the basic difference between a volvo and a hyundai sorted. It eventually must have went through though because I got the bill for the excess.

I havent had any good karma come of it in the form of paybacks.
