Getting back to the original issue, are we surprised/shocked/unphased
that they are looking a bit worn and dirty after 8 years daily use??


I thought they had worn pretty well until I noticed a recent increase
in glass scratching and graffiti when in service.


Even two years ago there were plenty of scratches and dents in the
doors, and a generally "rusty/grubby" look to the outsides from knee
level down. The insides were reasonable, though.


I don't agree. The external paintwork is in very good condition.
