Just saw an AMG GT R, dull dark grey colour unfortunately parked in the disabled bay nearest to the shops, no blue card on the dash.
Believe they are only making 750 of these for £178,000 a pop, pity the person who bought it thinks they are above parking in restricted bays

On the way home I saw a triumph stag followed by two DB4's, must have been a show somewhere

Was there a massive plume of iron oxide dust and bits of vinyl following them?

You forgot the cloud of steam from the Stag..,

I saw more than a few classics out today. A very nice original Fiat 500 and a woody Morris Minor to name two.

A Bentley convertible parked in a disabled bay.
As the owner got out, a warden hotly told him he could not park there!
The owner pointed to his blue badge with his walking stick and told the warden that because he was disabled it did not mean that he was poor.

Hi

The Amg Gt R retails at £143k and is not a limited run model.

Cheers

I think its the belief that a badge comes with a free car, for some it does but there are restrictions.

One of my customers who we did his C63 estate, AMG GTR and his SL63 AMG was born without the use of his legs and his disabled badges for his cars and he says he always gets people say to him he shouldn't be parking there until they see him build his wheel chair and see the hand controls in his cars lol

Also he used to race rally cross in the 70s and won a championship against able bodied drivers!!! He is insane behind the wheel lol

A150 manual, smart forTwo, W205 AMG line premium plus.
I know of someone who parked his Lamborghini (with his blue badge) is disabled parking bays. It is surprising that some people assume because you have an expensive car you cant possibly be disabled.
