Make sure I don't see your UK reg car in Europe, because you'd wish it was just scratched.

Watch out for the car pet munchers. Some birds aren't fussy what they eat.

It's got dings, and chips, and other scratches (it's still nice) from general wear and tear so I will just soak it up.

Somebody keyed my PUG 307 many years ago

Surely the patina will increase a 307's value

Agreed, but when I had a car keyed (only time I ever had a new "posh" car) two days after delivery, for a while after everyone I passed was profiled in my head as the keyer and I plotted and schemed how I would wreak my revenge upon them and their immediate family. I felt it was an attack on my family's attempts to better ourselves.

It took weeks for me to move onto something else to focus my hate and disdain on.
