Don't blame him, Resistance know what your car looks like ever since that Michael Brander crack you made on here.

A gutsy move I would have thought being a paid employee of Centrals and expressing sympathy with an avowed racist but I'm sure you know what you're doing.

The bit about Resistance is a gag, the second bit is not.

If I'm a paid employee of Centrals, I'd like to know what they are doing with my pay coz I ain't seen nuffin yet! I have never worked for The Club.
I have since sold that car, so "Resistance" needs to start looking for a different motor now!

Hard luck Ecky, I know your pain.

I have 'NORWOOD' plates and after parking my car near the Parade for round 1 against North a couple of years ago, came back to find my a huge scratch taking up two panels.

Since then, only had a couple of minor issues, just luck of the draw I guess. Maybe it was a stupid idea to show my allegiance on my number plates?!

From when I had my first car in 1986 right up to about 5 years ago I always had North stickers plastered all over my various cars, only time my car was ever violated was several times by Glenelg supporters at Mitchell Park High.
Footysa opened up my eyes as to how many weirdos there are out there and I didn't want them or people like them finding my car so I haven't had stickers on my car at all since about 2002.
Also got my car broken into at Elizabeth (not a footy game) when only being parked on a front lawn for one night and had a car radio stolen out of a car when I lived at Glenelg, Im not sure if having a footy sticker contributed to those incidents or not.
Even in the early 2000s I got more wary, for eg as I had a wagon and the North stickers were on the back window I'd back into a park at Centrelink at Elizabeth when visiting there and try and do similar things at other places.
Got a brand new car earlier this year and I'd wouldn't even consider putting North stickers on it.
Too many idiots out there and a sign of the times.
Always weary especially this year with the new car, parked at Unley on a widish road with heaps of vision if anyone did anything and also made sure I was nowhere near foot traffic from Norwood would find my car.

It does raise the issue of parking though, no off road car parking for the public at Prospect but not much can be done, same at Unley and Norwood. Mind you at least Prospect does have parking for officials and media, Norwood and Unley have nothing.

Elizabeth and Noarlunga have fantastic parking facilities.
Alberton, Thebarton and Glenelg is quite good.
Westies has a small patch as does Woodville.

Had Doggies stickers on my cars for as long as I've been driving.

My Dad always had an Elizabeth FC one on. Never had a problem.

i have always had footy stickers on my cars but i drive bombs so it doesn't bother me if they touch up the paint work might make me get off my arse and give the old ford a new paint job.

went to the footy saturday night and actually forgot to lock my car! Still there after the game! I have no stickers or such on it, but it remained unmolested.

I went to unley a few years ago with my calais and had centrals stickers on it and every panel was keyed when i got to it after the game. Also another game against sturt this time at adelaide oval (not saying on either account its a sturt supporter) my car was stolen. So its probably not wise to display stickers because it lets people know how long you are going to be,and where you are for that period of time.

I never display club colors or stickers on my car, we all know why today there are too many lunatics and morons running loose in the general society who have no respect for people and their property.

Sorry to hear about your car mate :?

Nobody has attacked my car yet despite the south and st kilda stickers on there. Perhaps they take pity :wink:

Going back a few years when I drove a Porsche it was often scratched, and I never displayed footy emblems. Fortunately the enamel work was good and it could usually be buffed out easily. Mind you I used to get randomly abused at traffic lights too, and it wasn't even red - a nice discrete unprovocative white.

Presumably it was done by jealous whingers, who didn't know I'd come from a working family in the western suburbs and had earned every penny it cost myself.
[Or by mindless yobs who didn't care.]

However, while parked in my driveway in Barker Rd, Prospect, at the time it was never touched. Maybe the wife's Rangie obscured the view of it.

Similar thing happened to me as well Psyber. I had my 1981 Gemini parked in the city and came back to see the boot scratched all over. My enamel work wasn't so good and it rusted in about 3 days. I can only assume they were jealous.

Actually I have bloody cat prints on my car, usually the day after I wash it.
These bloody cat owners that let their cats roam outside shit me.
Came out this morning and it looked like the bastards had orgies, fights and dance parties on my car.
Must be bloody Geelong supporters.
