Yellow Vauxhall Vandalised After 'Photobombing' Picturesque English Village
In 2015, Peter Maddox of Bibury, Gloucestershire found his little yellow Vauxhall Corsa hitting the headlines for an unusual reason. It turned out rather a lot of people on various social media services were voicing their angry opinions about his car ‘ruining’ their view and pictures of the National Trust-owned Arlington Row cottages. Now, Mr Maddox’s car has been vandalised in what looks like a vicious retaliatory attack.
The driver’s side window and rear windscreen have both been smashed, and the word ‘move’ scratched into the bonnet. Presumably by some awful person who hasn’t worked out how to use the content aware fill function on Photoshop yet. Vincent Vega would not be impressed with such behaviour…
According to BBC News, the Arlington Row buildings are among some of the most photographed houses in the UK. They’re even on the the inside cover of UK passports, not that this justifies such a cowardly act of vandalism.
84-year-old Maddox is sticking to his guns, though. He’s said to have the support of the village following the incident, and if the car has to be replaced (the damage is estimated to be around £6000), he’s said he’ll buy a car in lime green.
So, perhaps we can suggest a car for this defiant hero. Maybe an Ultimate Green Ford Focus RS? Or how about a Signal Green BMW M3? We’ll take your suggestions in the comments…

Get him a rainbow viper
To really make them pay, get a Multipla. Paint it in the ugliest shiniest lime green and shove it up their cameras. Spend the rest on an E46 330Ci.
PERFECT
how about the new BRZ yellow edition
So, rear windshield, passenger window and a bonnet cost 6k? Greedy too much? Whole corsa cost less then 6k ffs.
It’ll be a write off as the costs to fix+sort everything out is higher than the price of just getting a another car. It happens all the time with cheap(er) cars.
Just add flame, and look better view!
IT COULD BE WORSE!!!!!!
Let’s suggest an automibile that does fit in this scenery:
pink fiat punto with eyelashas and largest subwoofer you can find. And of course a fartcan
So a Corsa Burg or VXR is to come?
