Elderly 'Yellow Corsa Man' Has Caved In And Bought A Grey Replacement After His Vandalised Car Was Written Off
We’re genuinely disappointed to bring you this news, but the old man whose yellow Vauxhall Corsa was vandalised for ‘ruining’ a beauty spot has given in and bought a grey replacement.
Earlier in February a campaign of abuse from social media users and fellow residents of the incredibly picturesque Arlington Row culminated in the smashing of the Corsa’s rear windscreen and a side window, as well as the scratching of the word ‘MOVE’ into the bonnet.
People claimed that his car was ruining their Instagram photos of the picturesque village of Bibury, which made us a bit cross. What right does anyone have to complain about this sort of thing?
At the time, it’s owner, 84-year-old Peter Maddox said he would replace his beloved Corsa with something in lime green, claiming to have secured the support of the village around him.
But now news has surfaced that after the car was written off by its insurers, the retired dentist has instead bought a silver-grey Corsa out of fear that the same thing might happen again. His daughter-in-law Marie Kraus said:
“He does like bright colours and he liked his bright yellow car but since he feels he was targeted because it was yellow, he doesn’t want to attract the same sort of attention.
“He feels it’s possible it would happen again.”
Regardless, a Facebook group has been set up to organise a convoy of yellow cars through Bibury with the aim of raising sponsorship that will be donated to a charity of Mr Maddox’s choice. We just can’t help but wish his own brand new yellow car was taking part.

If it happened to me I would be looking more times to the window. If someone gor too close to the car I would get my bb gun and warn them: “Ruin my car and I will shoot you”. Some pellets on the ass checks would do them a favour. Or shoot their “not-so-hipster” iPhone.
These sort of assholes need to be locked up. this pisses me off so much. its his house, he lives there, and they have no right to tell him what to do. the town of bibury should be ashamed. if this happened to me, i would sue the people
If you don’t like the car just remove it with photoshop it’s actually very simple.
I think he needs a Bosozoku van
Should buy the car back off the insurance company and leave it parked there in its vandalised state
Should bought the Green one
And a Mossberg
Plan: Go there and paint all cars yellow.
And the houses. And if anyone questions you paint them yellow.
Sigh This is why I have no faith in humanity.
My car is not insured against vandalism I would literally have to hunt the criminal vandal down and either make him pay all the damages or enslave him as my personal servant until the debt can be written off. Alternatively sell his organs or force him to trade his soul with a demon for money to pay the damage. (latter not possible for gingers)
My car isn’t insured against anything (Michigan insurance is insanely expensive), so if anyone deliberately vandalizes my car, I’m duct-taping their face to my carbon-titanium exhaust and revving until they stop resisting.
Alright, looks like we have to arange a MCM car meet in that village now, everyone go get your cars wrapped in the brightest most outrageous designs ever!
