Paint thrown on disco 4
I have had what looks like paint, or some other substance thrown over my black disco 4, along the ns passenger and rear door. I only saw it in the dark, so need to look at it again later, but looks like an act of vandalism. I believe a black range rover sport was also targeted in the same road.
Anyone had experience of this? Pretty bleedin annoying, just can't understand the mentality of this sort of behaviour. To be honest, where it is parked on the road, there are X5s, Q5s and 7s, cayennes etc, but it seems like it was just land rovers and range rovers targeted. Doesn't make sense if it is a Chelsea tractor protest.
I'll call the police, and send pics later....Disco 4 2012 HSE 3.0 SDV6, Santorini black, Ebony leather, privacy, 20" 5 spoke alloys, tow bar

A few years ago we were on holiday in Norfolk in the middle of nowhere. Came out one morning to find something like a parking ticket on my car, only it was from the anti 4X4 brigade. It said something like Not Green, Not Safe, Not Cool on it and accused me of causing all the worlds woes.
So there are people out there who specifically target 4X4 owners, but strange how they only went after the LR cars in this instance.
It makes me so bloody angry that we all work hard to buy and then maintain our cars only for some to come along and damage it.

Walked up the road again last night and it seems the paint wasn't restricted to LRs. Two X5s were done as well, so clearly a 4x4 protest.
The good news is that the guy with the RRS has had his cleaned and it seems to come up ok. I'll have a go at the weekend with a Karcher....Disco 4 2012 HSE 3.0 SDV6, Santorini black, Ebony leather, privacy, 20" 5 spoke alloys, tow bar

I believe you are imagining that these Muppets are capable of rational thought Scott.

Just think if the idiots put as much effort into their own life, they might actually get somewhere!
