Ugh sorry to hear that my friend. Just can't understand someone putting that amount of effort into such mindless destruction 
Good on you for repairing it though, another lives on

Just a thought,some of these dentmaster type people do scratch repairs.Had my rear quater done recently as it had a terrible scratch down it.About 12" long & really deep (steady girls).Anyway 2 hours & £75 later the results are excellent.You have to look REALLY hard to see the repair.Might be worth a try! P.S. I take it the pub didnt have any cctv ? How did the landlord know about the damage ? Did he see something ? Worth investigating

I will have a look to see if i have a local dentmaster
my scratch is about 10 ft down to metal
no cctv landlord was looking over his cars with a torch after i told about mine
landlord was good he let me use his 1 of his car to get home & next day to have tyres fitted & he let me borrow money for tyres he said pay me back in new year & he is claiming v.a.t. back & taking off my bill

Hi, if you read this 
http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=news;action=disp lay;num=1184443222
During this time I was very much affected by the sheer trauma of what had happened so I certainly understand how you feel at the moment.
I can however offer this thought.
The feeling you get when the problem is finally resolved and the way it makes you proud to be driving a car that looks so nice after the mindless actions of a moron is almost worth the dilemna in the first place. 
These cars ARE something special (to us) we are the ones who care for them, I don't really understand it yet but maybe someday I will.
I used to own a (believe it or not) Wartburg  which I rebuilt twice in the 13 years of ownership, I don't know if you are familiar with these cars but it had a 3 cylinder 2 stroke engine and I thought it was brilliant (wish I had kept it now cos they are like hens teeth) (Dan).
Anyway I won't babble on. I hope you soon get the car sorted, and it will be worth doing believe me.....chin up 
Best of luck
pete
