    Any one else had the badges ripped of their cars by the delightful Nedford McSchemie types in enormous trousers?
    Left my car at my friends flat in Leith while we went running and came back to a badgeless car:disapprove::dead::(

    Wouldnt be so bad if they hadnt damaged the paintwork while jamming the screwdriver in behind the badges , but alas , they have:(

    Now im old enough to remember the beastie boys VW badge craze but wasnt aware that the Mini was under a similar type of threat:question:

    In hindsight i'm quite glad i didnt catch them in the act as i think i'd be up 'the big hoose' at Saughton by now with a big grin on my face:evil:

    Why can't people leave things alone in this country:mad::mad:
    Imagine if we went around and started ripping the sleeves if their fancy jackets B4573805 :mad:

    Rant over, they have a habit of that up here and they think that nothing is wrong with it.

    Because they don't get punished and do what they like...but if a hard working, law-abiding individual even lay a finger on one of the little f*ckers you'd have their social worker calling for you to be put away for life for abusing a 'disadvantaged individual'.
    <phew> needed that!

    Sorry to hear about the bad luck mate. There are a few of us on here that are Leithers and just about everyone of us had our car damaged in some way by the delightful fake sportswear clad individuals so common around these parts.

    Feed them to their pitbulls!:mad:

    When I was at the dealers speccing my car someone phoned up to get a quote for new badges as they had theirs stolen while the car was in the Ocean Terminal carpark.
    I often have a quick look to make sure mine are still there when I go back to the car.

    Sorry to hear about that - as you say its not the badges so much as the damage that they do while removing them.
    What badges was it that they stole? The Winged Mini emblems or the Cooper letters?

    Excellant point MMM they get away with murder because they know that no-one can touch them, they tell their low life parents that someone abused them and the parents are straight to the police with ££££ in their eyes. I hate bloody neds my schools full of the little s*its! last week they buttered the teachers cars! and let down all their tyres. it only gives the rest of us bad names for being young!:mad:

    From Factory JCW to Audi TT Quattro - Might be back one day!
