Someone has one of these in the area where I live. I was a bit puzzled because the last time I saw a Ashok Leyland vehicle was when I was in Namibia a few years ago and that was an 8 ton truck. It if a bit iffy looking though.

Indians in India have never cared for looks, which is odd considering how particular or Indians here are about a car looking good.

Probably idiots thinking they can park where they want to and arrogance took over. That's what it seems. Then they try, a number of them, to beat up the complainer and he alters the VW look.

A55umptions above, awaits the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th versions. There will be footage though.
 
Hopefully the bakkie driver went straight to SAPS to report the incident or the book will be thrown at him/her/it.

We can all guess why this escalated...

After being in 3 accidents, every single one of the other people had no car insurance... will be interesting to know if this Golf Gti man has car insurance otherwise sucks to be you :sick:

Even if he does have it, he is going to have a hard time explaining himself, hopefully he gets his story straight because insurance is always looking for that one reason to reject the claim.

Small bakkie gives Golf GTI a hammering in viral parking rage incident

A black Volkswagen Golf 5 GTI was significantly damaged in a parking lot altercation that took place at an Engen garage over the weekend.

Footage, which went viral on social media platforms on Sunday night, shows the driver of an Ashok Leyland Dost repeatedly reversing into the Golf, whose occupants had boxed the small bakkie in, before making a hasty escape.

While the initial altercation was not caught on film, footage shows occupants from the Golf running towards the bakkie, before retreating as the bakkie starts reversing into the car. After reversing into the Golf three times, the bakkie driver makes a hasty escape, while men on the scene make another attempt at assaulting him through the window.

The incident, which appears to have taken place at an Engen garage in Woodmead, Johannesburg, is reportedly under investigation, although the South African Police Service has yet to release an official statement on the matter.

The incident created a social media frenzy, and many sided with the bakkie driver, who had been "unfairly" parked in by the Golf, and some viewed the small bakkie’s antics as a “David and Goliath” scenario.

The Ashok Leyland Dost is South Africa's cheapest bakkie, with prices currently starting at R179,900.
