This isn't the norm.....

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Just want to defend my town a bit here.

This is not normal Swindonian behaviour I hope the feckers are caught and served some justice!

Thats a bit rough. Its just pointless vandalism.

Hopefully they'll get caught. Be nothing more than a telling off sadly.

People are saying it was eco-warriors as a lot of targeted cars were rep-mobiles and vans.

If it was they are rather stupid because the environmental cost of 4 new tyres far outweighs the car being off the road for a day?!?!?

Yeah they will get slap on the wrist and a fine equivalent to one budget tyre!

Just saw that on the news. What's the point? Must have taken them ages and they have acheived nothing, apart from pissing everyone off! Hope they catch the shits.
