Therin lies the rub Bill ;

I don't know who did it , only that it occurred during/after another one of Paul's drunken parties *X( angry

Fighting with the neighbors is always fraught with peril , I try to avoid it and paul's a drug dealer / ner'do well so I'll prolly come out the looser if I torch his truck or whatever .

The pisser is : whomever did it , _knew_ ~ they dragged my whole damn car and broke the mirror to boot *~X( at wits' end .

Sometimes I can't win for loosing .

SWMBO says we're leaving this 'hood in a year or three , I can't wait .

A few weeks ago (? longer ?) one of the neighbors side swiped my beloved Diesel Sports Coupe stem to stern and drove off , never said anything .

To - day I got out my tin of ' Met - All ' metal polish , this is a 2,000 grit super fine metal polishing compound used on aluminum aircraft , we also used it on the L.A.P.D.'s plexiglass canopies and bubbles , I put a dab of it on the corner of a clean rag and rubbed a bit and Lo ! 99 % of the transferred paint and rubber from the other car , vanished .

I still have some scratches and dents but unless you knew it had been side swiped , you'd never know .

Then I broke out the Meguiar's # 15 Cleaner Wax and a new natural cellulose sponge  and hand polished the entire car , taking care to remove all those thousands of oil / tar droplets ijn the chalky paint , this took most of the day and nearly killed me ~ this is young mans work , not for crippled fat old geezers like me .

Then I got my bottle of Polymer Wetcoat Wax and another new sponge and applied a full coat of wax .

It hasn't looked this good since I bought it , if then .

Looking at the scratches every  time I went to drive it , was driving me batshyte .

I replaced a broken gummipuffer air cleaner mount and I guess I'm now ready for Sunday's TT Run .
