The BAD PARKING thread

[sasjag]

Another one from outside work. This was here for 3 days.

Taken outside of Asda - the driver went to get their weekly shop.

Cool car. wker owner.
... if you're that concerned about getting it scratched, park in the far corner of the car park where no one parks!

Spent a pleasant afternoon at Linford Bottom in the New Forest today.

No photos, but you can probably imagine the scene - hot, sunny day, loads of people... lots of imaginary parking spaces dreamt up where none exist.

Culminating in an idiot in a Peugeot 307 who had parked virtually blocking the narrowest bit of the car park entrance road. Lots of angry people about. We managed to squeeze our 3 series touring through the gap with the mirrors folded in - with literally no more than 1 or 2cm clearance each side. Doubt the Range Rovers, and big Mercs in the car park managed the same trick.

Who would park their car like that thinking "yep, that'll do"? Glad to say he/she had already lost their mirror and had fresh looking scrapes down the doors :-)

to me the most annoying thing about that pic is not the car, it's the <cheap coach company> Irish plate

It's not Irish, it's Northern Irish. How do you know the owner isn't from NI anyway? BFZ is an unlikely set of initials. Barry Frederick Zwecker?

Exactly - it's just a Northern Irish plate

plate aside, lets not kid ourselves - its one damn ugly car! Actually in that picture it reminds me of the front end of that Nissan Leaf on TG tonight!

Asda linwood?

Can you not find somewhere better than a footpath down the road from your dealership to take pictures of a car you have for sale?

looks more suspicious than it would be parked right outside the dealership!
on a separate note, guessing you've seen the interior shots on the advert? That dashboard layout should be made illegal!

Why has the Jetta opposite got a giant banana on the bonnet?
