Reminds me of when my mate came to visit us on a car tour and our goat nibbled on the rear bumper rubber on the E-Type :D

Hope he's got accidental damage cover as part of his insurance! I was pleased to find I do have that, put the nose of the 968 over a kerb at the supermarket, heard the slight scratch noise as I did so, put car in reverse to get off the kerb and ripped the front bumper and undertray off. Replacement bumper alone was £1300, total bill close to £3k - but luckily only cost me the £100 excess on the policy. Wondering how much renewal will be in November - currently only pay about £240 for 5k miles fully comp.

Did something similar with the 230 but instead of just reversing hit the ABC button to lift to max height then reversed. No problems! Sometimes ABC pays for itself....

When we lived in Scotland we had goats and they would eat anything - window sills, car door mirrors, windscreen wipers etc

We managed to give them away and were collected in a Suzuki 4x4 softop, with horns poking through !!!!

If that dog thinks there's something nutritional in a Porsche wing, then I think Darwin has something to say about that particular breed!

Unless you do it the other way round.

I reversed to the front of the house and the exhausts cleared the small wall round the grass.

Great, no problem...except next time I nudged the wall with the exhaust...I'd had it on high the first time and...

And there was a guy with his Bentley in storage with a battery charger attached. The battery charger had been left under the rear bumper. As the suspension settled (hydraulic)...the bumper got a little banana shaped.

years ago I had a Citroen CX Familiale estate, suspension settled slowly when you turned the engine off. Then the day came that we had a starter motor problem and needed to jack the car up - with no engine to help! Luckily the car was parked on a dirt road so we were able to dig a hole for the jack to go into.

That dog must have had fearsome teeth! Even if a 991 Turbo rear wing is alloy, that would take some chewing to make those holes!

I've seen a Land Rover that sheep had eaten away all the birmabright aluminium bodywork they could reach.

You’d be surprised what dogs can go through, it doesn’t take much to ripple through alu.
