Parking is tight where I live, so was a bit miffed to see this Audi parked in the middle of a 2-space parking bay. Felt compelled to leave a note!

Yep a lot of total dickheads seem to favour Audis, but not all Audi owners are dickheads. My mate has one as a company car (not his choice) and he despairs at these characters.

An old B-Class.
I often (always according to my wife:rolleyes:) complain when I see cars parked across the lines at supermarkets etc and my wife reminds me that often, when it is busy, other cars are already badly parked and the driver may have had no choice and all the other badly parked Aholes have now left. It only takes the first one in a supermarket carpark.

Particularly when one is parking a car that’s already the width of the marked space with its doors closed..! #RClass

I have seen many Mercs parked on the pavement, so 6 of1 half a dozen of the other, annoying to say the lease, for people with mobility scooters.

As a frequent walked it bugs me greatly drivers just parking all over the pavement. They just don't think of anyone other than themselves :(

At the risk of showing support for an Audi driver on an MB forum, is there a chance a motorcycle may once have been parked behind him?

I had four Audi A4's as company cars pre 2000 and at the time I loved them. :)

In the 90s I wanted an Audi (don't remember the model but the equivalent of the BMW 525) but I hated the dash. Since then, they are much improved and my son's (wife's) Q7 was a lovely place to be. They get their Q8 (replacing written off Q7) next week & I'm interested to see that. Audi could well be a contender when I decide to hang up my SL spurs.

Who remembers the DKW ?

My intervention was only in jest - I'm pretty easy going :) But I think if you let people know when they are acting stupidly, they may learn for next time.

No, they were all A4 Avants. At that time I was covering 50,000 miles a year. The company changed the car every six months because they found it more economic to sell a six month old 25,000 mile car than a 50,000 mile twelve month car. :rolleyes::)

and worse still to add to that, when your arse end is the width of the space and then you need another quarter car width to get the door out and open ...(First world problems I guess? :p)

You wouldn't expect to see an RR at the supermarket anyway unless ti was the Chauffer grabbing a sandwich. Worst thing you would want is a ding in the door as a present from some oik :eek:
