Obsessive parking, or what?

[A.J.]

Car would require a Full Valet after parking in that Muddy car park.

God it's awful isn't it, I don't think I would park in that car park anyway

You sometimes get those unicorn parking spots where there is only space for one car and nothing can touch you. I'm always on teh look out. Thsi was where I parked in a public parking when I was still working in OZ. Perfect View attachment 55418

I would definitely be prepared to pay extra to get that type of parking.

I had similar in Belgium close to the Herge Museum... Concrete wall behind and on the passenger side - parked it 2" off the concrete wall at the back and 4" off the passenger side concrete wall. When I came back a Skoda Roomster had parked in front of me..



Yes I drove it out without damage or hitting the walls (and no the Skoda didn't leave before I did...)

Skoda would have had 2 flat wheels if he'd parked me in like that!

That’s a feat getting out of that !! Agree with Rory the Skoda would of been left a calling card

It looks like the Skoda was parked within the bay to me .....

Didn't like saying...

I can’t argue with that, it is within the bay, but it’s parking Etiquette amongst Chaps surely ??

Agree. Probably with a 3' gap in front - he knew the Porsche wasn't going to nudge him out of the way. Guaranteedthe Skoda would have given my Landcruiser with it's bull-bar a lot more room.

However, I'd never knowingly park somebody in even, if I was fully within my rights.

He was, he was at the back of it but in the bay. 911 isn’t a long car and it just fitted in.
Thankfully the 911 has a very curved front so with much back and forth I made it out without issue.

Particularly good parking, Vin
I would imagine those supermarket trolleys are flying around like battering rams today.

You got it Tony, I thought I’d take my chances with the trees, like you say trolleys flying around everywhere.

Last summer my workmate parked his car like that and a little old lady parked next to him and scraped his bumper parking .there were no other cars in carpark! .I've got a clk ,(big doors )and always somebody parks close after I try parking away from the crowded bit of carpark. Never sure if they do it on purpose or they are just plain stupid. Most car parks spaces are a bit small anyway. That's my rant for day .

We went to the cinema this afternoon. Despite the wind and rain, I had parked at the far end of the car park on an end space in the otherwise deserted half of the car park.

When we came out, two young f*ckwits (boy and girl) were sat in an old VW Polo parked close to my driver's door. My face showed my displeasure but, after that, I ignored them so, if they were looking for an argument, I spoiled their fun. What I really wanted to do was grab them by the throat and ask why on Earth they thought it acceptable to park like that when the rest of that area was virtually deserted ! They did get to hear what an AMG sounded like as I pulled off (OK only a V6 though!)
