Dad tells a similar story of his Vee Dub Beetle. He was involved in a fairly nasty prang with a 4WD. (This is in the early seventies) The Fourby driver was at fault, and had written off his vehicle. Dads Bug had a pea sized "dent" in the front bumper.
Being the enthusiast he was, dad pulled the bumper off to panelbeat out the dent.
Clawhammer: Boooing! Nothing. Dent 1 Dad 0 Ball Pean: Boooing! Nothing. Dent 2 Dad 0 Mini Sledge: Booing! Nothing. Dent 3 Dad 0 Full sized Sledge: Booing! Nothing. Dent 4 Dad 0 Oxy gear and MUCH swearing: Fssssh! Nothing. Dad gives up at this point.
To this day he keeps waiting to hear the story of a car crusher destroyed by a rogue Beetle Bumper with one tiny dent.
