If I bought land in front of a scenic overview, or a monument, and built a wall in front of it to ruin the view, I'd be a dick, too. Buying THAT car was a dick move that he was completely within his rights to do.

But anyway, he now has a grey car so apparently that's un-garish enough to have alleviated the problem.

Edit: I'm curious where everyone else in the neighborhood parks their cars.

And thats really an excuse for him to have the windows smashed out of his car and have move carved into the hood? The man bought a car in a fun and interesting color. He should be applauded, not loving vandilized.

I love the BBC. It's government-owned, so they can just get the Royal Marines out for a joke in a TV show. Well, get the TV show into a training mission, I guess.

There's a similar thing in the US -- all the flyovers at the start of sporting events (aside from the really big ones that rate the demonstration teams, like the Daytona 500 and Super Bowl) are on the way to/from doing a mock bombing run on a nearby city or whatever. But I imagine it's a bit harder for NBC to get a guy derping around during a USMC full-on training exercise than for the Beeb to put Clarkson among their Marines, innit?

I've read your posts, they're still poo poo. Building a wall in front of a monument is nothing like an 84 year old parking a car he needs in front of his house.

National trust or not, it's a home first and a yellow corsa is a perfectly reasonable car for an old man to drive. Anyone getting offended by it is a big cry baby.

What i'd like to know is, when did it become a "dick move" to buy a car in a color you enjoy? Who cares what a bunch of whiny tourists think, the dude lives there and has every right to own a car in whatever the gently caress color he wants. That's not a dick move, jesus christ.

Parking the car you bought at your house being a dick move is easily the dumbest loving thing I've ever heard in AI. Including the guy who paid $45k for a leased Altima.

Sorry for the derail, but with the NFL at least, the military actually pays them a substantial (but insignificant in terms of military budget) advertising fee to display all that America gently caress Yeah bullshit. There was an incredibly minor scandal when it came out where a few people questioned why the taxpayer funded military was paying to have soldiers rappel from stadium roofs holding giant American flags etc., but nobody else took any notice because business is business and hoo rah football support r troops.

Some flyovers are mock bombing runs ON THE STADIUM.

Others are good ways to get placed into a non-flying job.

Guy gets bright yellow car vandalised over NIMBYness about it being too garish and ruining the view, 100 yellow cars turn up to the village to show support for him and a big "gently caress you" to the NIMBYs.

quote:

In February, vandals scratched the word 'move' into the car's bonnet, damaged panels and smashed its windows - causing approximately �6,000 of damage.
At the time, a defiant Mr Maddox said that if it was too expensive to repair the car he would buy a replacement - in lime green.

I would buy this old codger a beer. I live in a "quaint" area too, I am a huge proponent of historical preservation and sit on the board of a charitable group that does exactly that. Rude tourists can gently caress right off though. If you're a tourist, you're an uninvited guest in someone else's home. You don't go in and piss on their rug because you don't like the pattern.

Surprised that F16s spend a lot of time practicing low level bombings runs directly over huge civilian targets (presumably with iron bombs if you're flying right overhead).

If it existed solely for people to come and enjoy the view, they wouldn't rent the housing - it'd be a bigass setpiece museum display.
