the worst day of my life

davinet78 · 11-08-2005, 06:50 AM

i had my nearly two month old 320d parked outside my house when a wild monkey jumped onto my car from a tree and has dented the roof of the car.
The damage has amounted to 6 big dents on the roof of the car and the earliest day available for me to take the car to the dealer is the 30 november, so ill be at least 1 month without using the car cos i wount be using the car with the roof the way it is, its not a nice sight to see the car in this state

Now there's one you don't hear every day!!

Sorry to hear of the damage. Wish you the best for a speedy recovery.

JamieA · 11-08-2005, 06:57 AM

That's terrible! My condolences

LEDZEP · 11-08-2005, 07:13 AM

Jamie - you're going to have to top that with a kangaroo story...

e90driver · 11-08-2005, 07:28 AM

Wild monkey!?!?? Yikes.

Good luck with the repairs, hope it comes out as good as new.

F32Fleet · 11-08-2005, 07:36 AM

I'm soo sorry, but that is just too funny.

a monkey..!...

Tater · 11-08-2005, 07:51 AM

I'm sorry, but that's the funniest thing I've heard all month. Thanks for brightening my day.

TECENG · 11-08-2005, 07:53 AM

I really hope everything works out, that's awful. I certainly hope you shot the monkey that did it...

Mikey3 · 11-08-2005, 09:01 AM

im soryy to hear that...

but a monkey! hahahaha
in europe too.... thats going to be hard to beat.

txusa03 · 11-08-2005, 09:01 AM

Well, you know what they say, what monkey sees, monkey do. Maybe your car is so shiny that the monkey saw a reflection of itself and went nuts. Thanks for sharing and as some said, it made them laugh. Hope you get the car fix soon and find a resolution to stop it from happening again.

Bimmerista · 11-08-2005, 09:13 AM

That monkey needs a good slapping around

Joking aside, I am sorry to hear, especially since the repar will cost a bit.

BTW I had no idea there are wild monkeys going around in Gibraltar.

Go figure.

Broken1 · 11-08-2005, 09:18 AM

That's terrible!
There has been a cat looming in my garden the past 3 or 4 days...If I start seeing paw marks on my car I am going to FLIP!

So...my girlfriend tells me cats don't like water - so next chance I get - i'm gonna soak it. If that doesn't work...well... lets not get there.

I guess it comes with the territory when living on Gibraltar...

Bad luck though.

findtom · 11-08-2005, 09:30 AM

I'm sorry, that sucks... is it really the worst day of your life though?

I'm surprised to be the first to ask this, but can you please post pics so we can all see what "monkey damage" looks like?

booforty · 11-08-2005, 09:46 AM

The worst I've had is a bird poo on my roof and that upset me!!

rag21 · 11-08-2005, 09:46 AM

are you sure it was a monkey and not one of the IS250/IS350 fans at the Club Lexus forum??

stressdoc · 11-08-2005, 09:47 AM

Did our primate cousin survive the fall?
