Grrrrrrr. The new G is only days old and already needs the paint redone.

A warning to all.

I drove in to Paris and was told park in a garage as you will get your tires slashed if you park a G on the street. (A few years ago the French tried to ban all 4x4s - the G was at the very top of the list). So I follow the advice and duly find a garage that says 1.9m clearance. No problem I say to myself as I enter the garage going faster than I probably should but knowing that my G is only 1.83m high.... big mistake. The 1.9m was measured vertically and didn't take into account the fact that when the rear wheels are still on the ramp your G suddenly becomes quite a bit higher than 1.9m.... :cry:

Thanks - as Bill said it was a bad weekend for G300 TDs. 2000s on top of that and green ones to boot. But I will try not to go as far as Mark....
