It's a 7" Galaxy Tab 2. Does the job quite well, hasn't given me any issues with Torque and has a GPS receiver in it which helps nicely for mapping your routes etc...

What wizardry is this ?

How much for a full respray of a 07 Honda Civic (triangle shaped model)?

Some w*nker keyed every single panel and window on my sisters car today in work and to finish it off key'd some insults into the bonnet.

Would claiming through insurance be an option?

Full respray would be thousands

What kind of sick people are out there?

To answer your question, a couple of grand I'm afraid

Supergurrier

If you are doing every panel and engine bay/door sills easily over 2 grand tbh.

Was there no CCTV, surely it was someone she knows if they went to that much hassle

She is going to get onto them tomorrow and see what they say.
No CCTV in work.

If there are insults scraped in, I'd fear a repeat. Sounds personal

Are the scratches deep enough to warrant a respray or might it be possible to D/A them out??

The cvnt who did that needs a good kick in the cvnt :mad::mad:

I'd say if someone was going to go to the trouble of making a proper mess of it and purposely doing every panel, they'd make sure it was deep too

Supergurrier

Im suprised he/she didn't do in the tyres aswell and put sugar in the tank, sounds like someone with a grudge tbh

Don't most cars have the tank included on the deadlock system these days?

Only if you can normally open the fuel flap by hand when the car is unlocked

ongarite

I'll have a look at the car tomorrow and see how deep the scratches go but I fear the worse.

But when the car is locked, so is the fuel cap. BMW fuel caps have their own lock and in Mazdas, you have to open it from inside the car so if the car is locked, you can't.

Too late to reply with the same as above, but glad it was quoted for evidence.

NCT strikes again......

Note fail item 1 on the NCT sheet:



And then note the reservoir that they marked and that was actually at the minimum level:rolleyes:





Also had a Mazda(actually an Autozam) in which failed because its rear foglights weren't working....despite being a Japanese import.

I didn't take any pics as it was the least interesting Autozam, the revue, which is just a standard Mazda 121 with a cloth roll back roof.

There are defiantly a handful of those in Ireland. There are a good few AZ-3's here too.
