The BAD PARKING thread [vol3]

[Vipers]

Woman backs up, manages to get back wheel just off the zig zag, thinks "That will do", and abandons it.



Look past the van across the road to the left, you can see a side street, 10 ft down that road is a car park with 30 mins FREE.

Where's Blind Pew when you most need him?

Nice bit of art there, where's it from?

It's by N. C. Wyeth (Newell Convers Wyeth, 1882 to 1945), an American artist and book illustrator during the early 20th Century. From the 'realist' school of artists, this work was an illustration for Treasure Island when it was published in the US as part of a series of 'Literary Classics'. Widely acknowledged as one of his best works, the correct title for this work is "Old Pew" and it dates from 1911.

eta: a closed auction... http://www.ebay.com/itm/NC-WYETH-c1981-Print-OLD-P... ...but prints do appear for sale from time to time, although I'm not sure about dates nor edition sizes. I don't think the prints are too expensive though.

Plenty of spaces available, many of them closer to the door, presumably using this spot as a pick up point.

Usually some fekker parks in the pic up point and goes shopping

[Issi]

Big field next to the beach earlier,plenty of space available, guess the one car that parked in front of the farmers gate?

Why, it's the white Range Rover of course!

[Antwrigley]

More annoying though are the cars that park in the white stripe sections

Quality Italian parking:

Dear customer services,

Can you move those silly posts so I can park my car closer to the door.






It was there when I went in, and still there when I came out.

Looks about right. You could also get a Fiat 500 sideways in that space - well they'd try!

I actually love the way that a) the drivers that parked like that don't care and b) neither does anyone else.

You wouldnt get an Italian moaning that a car had half a tyre over a white line.

Came out to find this BMW parked like this. Bare in mind that I was just able to get out of the empty space on the right (took this photo after I had moved my car) but he was blocking 2 other spaces with somebody waiting for them to move. Never seen this car before & it was there for about 1 hour in total!

Ah, the Audi A3 - comes with the MSOSE* as standard equipment.

In addition to MSOSE, it has SPA as well.

Shi* Parking Abilities.

Every time I pass this road, this car is parked like this. Selfish idiot.



It looks like the vehicles behind take the urine too.

Oh how about this for special. Saw these on the way to Wexham Park last night, but looks like it's not a new thing.

Good of the local council to put a waste bin out for them

Although in fairness it's not really blocking anything, and it's not really in the way of the corner.

Come on now - I'm sure you can find better examples than that!!

Give the local council a call. It's a safety hazard to pedestrians.
