Post Finally I can post pictures! Maybe?

Here is this lovely car when I bought it, and then 4 days later in Las Vegas. It is now repaired to its prior exquisite state. More pics to follow....

Unbelievable hate crime. So sad for both you and the car. Best of luck getting it back to better than new condition. Where was the car attacked?

Chris, that is a stunning car. Great to see you're bringing it back to pre-assault form.

At the moment I am trying to change my avatar to show the tt with this DAMN MAC computer. I will post some more pics soon. This car was attacked the last day of September by someone who had a framing hammer and a REAL bad night at the Bellagio casino. I had a wise old customer who once told me "If you have a problem that money can solve...you don't have a problem" I lost the use of the car for 4 months, but I now have it back better than before thanks to Lufteknic in Richmond, VA.

So I'm assuming the loser is in custody? And will be contributing his debt to society and your wallet?

Ouch....I would be speechless if I came back to the parking lot to see that! Hard to believe at the Bellagio too. Best of luck!

well, I still got the name tag kiosk, and I can borrow some orange cones again... The wild card is the weather really, regarding showup time. Many Rl'ers didn't show up till very late in the morning, hell, even early afternoon. If the weather is good, I expect earlier show up times all around.

I'll more than likely bring all the stuff again, and try to reserve some spaces. Actual arrival time will be dependant on my male escort's...Cactus, Andreas, and Ironimages-as I assume it'll be the status quo to again drink till 3am the night before so we are at our very best day of and all.

Ish.....This happened in September just after I bought the car. My bucket list item was to drive a Porsche up the coast highway from Santa Barbara to Big Sur and on to Monterey. This was a fabulous trip. My friends kept telling me to go to Las Vegas, so after a couple days in Yosemite, I got a room at the Bellagio. This occurred around noon on a Saturday morning in the Bellagio parking lot. It looks awful but in reality it was a dented hood, dented rear fender and 3 pieces of glass. I suppose one guy with a hammer could do such damage in under a minute. In the big picture, I'd rather be the guy owning the Porsche getting attacked than the guy swinging the hammer. The car is all better now. New windows and seals, new hood (I have the damaged one) Lufteknic did a stunning job. It will be my estate selling this car..........Chris
