Looks like you're pretty safe from those dreaded parking lot dings! What tires do you run over the winter?

Hey Andre, good to hear from you again!

I thought Iceland had winter all year long!

Look for a "Dr. Dent" or "Paintless Dent Repair" place for your door dings - at least that's what they go by here in the states. They can make those dings disappear without having to paint.....

No, mine has the 6 cyl, but that's because it's a series II coupe, not a 2+2 or series III. Go here if you'd like to read about it... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/505677...and-park-ks-us
