Moneypenny was in the movie theatre parking lot while we were inside watching "Die Another Day". When we returned she had been egged. Who goes around with eggs in their possession? Why would somebody do this? Why just my Mini and not the Buick next to her or the Audi on the other side? Should everyone who doesn't own a Mini be put on Ritalin to prevent this from happening again?

 

Probably someone who's very jealous that you have a MINI. What an idiot.

Or possibly could there have been a birds nest above the MINI. Maybe one the bird's eggs fell. How sad

Anyway I hope it cleaned up okay.

How was the movie?

 

I hope MoneyPenny is ok!!!

I don't understand people, how can they do that to such a *cute and personable* car?

::jealous:: that has to be the answer.

Gidget

Or in this case, maybe a jealous non-owner.

Very sorry to hear it. Some people just don't get it.

There are 3 sides to every story; your side, their side and the truth.

Could you have perhaps cut somone off (unintentionally) or somehow earned their disfavor? Is there an ex-wife or girlfriend? A co-worker? Think of possibilities.

Did you get the eggs off? I would, it can eat the paint.

You didn't mention what you thought of the movie!

Fortunately it was a rainy night here on Long Island - so the eggs wiped off pretty easily (except around the door handle). I don't recall cutting anyone off, but everything happens so fast in this car it's hard to remember it all. I'm also 90% sure no one who has it out for me would do something as juvenile as egging my car. It was a wide open parking lot so it couldn't have been a bird's nest.

RE: Die Another Day - aside from the weak dialogue between James & Jinx when they first meet, this could well be one of the best Bond films. The stunts, as expected, are top notch. The plot while, not 100% original, is suprising and engaging with shades of Dr. No, Goldfinger, and License to Kill. Ford Motor Company seems to have stolen BMW's thunder by dressing the film with Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Thunderbird. (I could just watch the Aston Martin standing still for 2 hours and be entertained). The 1st half of the film is all clever set -up. The last hour is almost entirely stunts and special effects with just enough dialouge to glue them together. I want to see it agian before ranking it aong the others officially. For now I would put this as Brosnan's 2nd best behind Tommorow Never Dies.

 

Could have been rocks......or a key job along the side which I had done to a bimmer once which is really a bummer.......

 

IF YOU CATCH WHO EVER DID THIS, FRY THEM !!!!

Did the Bond writers run out of names for the female lead....come on Jinx instead of ***** galore ??.....or are we now 100% political correct even in the classics....

 

sorry to hear what happened to your mini brave, it was probably just some immature kids who were looking for something to do... s*it happens :smile:

 

May the fleas of a thousand camels nest in the egg throwers armpits :evil:

On that note - where on Long Island are you from? During the summer months on Tuesday evenings there is a big car show at the Broopkhaven Amphitheater Parking Lot (Bald Hill) exit 63 LIE where a few mini owners have been getting together. I hope you'll join us. Maybe we'll get a mini gang together and stop those egg throwers

 

Long long ago when I was a stupid kid I did immature stuff like that. It happens, not a big deal, but certainly annoying to say the least.

The most important thing to remember is that if you insure the vehicle to the hilt, then you can let your insurance agent spend HIS sleepless nights worrying about the safety of your vehicle leaving you to enjoy it, eggs, brake dust, and all!

MMMmmmmmm . . . . . . Brake Dust Omelette *drool*

Like anything else, someone sees what you have worked for and want it. If it can't be taken, they abuse it. I hate that it happened to you, but am glad that it washed off. It's the world that we live in. No wonder we don't get much foriegn tourism any longer. I like the name you gave to your Mini.

a dastardly deed for sure.......
a nice waxing...is in order

Peace,

Wow, that is terrible!
I can't believe people still do this.

Yes maybe we should bring back stoning but this time use eggs!!!

The egg will leave the nasty looking bullseye holes in the paint,really ticks me off at some peoples jg;h;uyutr behavior.

Maybe a public stockade

 

I've been the victim of car vandals (not with my new Mini, so far) and know the awful feeling of finding your beloved auto disfigured.

Consider: you still have your Mini & it can be refinished if necessary; the shmuck(s) with the eggs probably have only a damaged brain which is likely beyond repair.

You win.

 

I was *DRIVING* my ex-Beetle last winter and got egged by a passing car. I spun around in the middle of a busy road to give chase, but I lost them. According to the cops they were doing it all over, but they never did catch the kids... they said they did, but I'm guessing their parents had a fit, since this is Hudson, and the spoiled rich kids would "never do a thing like that". Meanwhile I have huge chips of paint missing on the front of the car. Ooh, how I wanted to rip those squirts to shreads... so I know how you feel. Poor Moneypenny! (cute name though, Mr. Bond...)

 

I'm sorry to hear about the eggs...

 

I have an 18 year old daughter who saved her money and with our help bought a 1998 Ford Ranger. She works at a theatre and came out to find her back sliding window broken out and a large dent on her hood apparently from the same tool that was used to smash out her window. Hope you immediately washed the egg of the Mini because egg will damage the vehicles surface. Wish I could wash off her large dent on my daughters hood.
