It's the same too, infact most of Italy from what my colleagues say. The chap in our Milan office who looks after the company cars doesn't bother getting dents fixed until the car is due to go back to the lease company because he knows full well that they'll just reappear within a few days.

Driving in Rome is quite a scary experience, I can totally understand why so many cars look about knackered.

I've got scrapes and scratches all over my car at the moment - I can't afford to fix it. None of them are even my fault it really upsets me every time I see the scratches (almost looks keyed) and the dents Hate it.

I totally agree. EVERY single car I saw in Italy (and I travelled around quite a bit on their roads) had bumps/dents/scratches and worse on their bodywork.

Oh god I LOVED it. It's like automotive Brownian motion.

However, you have to be a mental patient to ride a scooter there.
