Spotted a Macca 650S at Bicester Outlet

Nope, don't agree with that - that's good parking.

The driver of that VW Touran is the problem here. If the Macca driver tries to park in the space next to the Polo, he's bound to have someone try to wedge themselves in the space next to the Touran - probably resulting in damage caused to the 650S. Alternatively, if the Macca driver tries to park in the space next to the Touran, he'll be too wide and some twit will probably try to wedge themselves next to the Polo; again, probably resulting in damage to the 650S.

ETA: Plus, he's folded in his mirrors so that's a definite 11/10 for parking prowess.

How on Earth can you defend that? That's cock parking of the highest order, as is the GTR.
If he didn't feel safe leaving it in a single space then he should have gone somewhere else, makes me cringe to look at it.

Exactly a selfish dhead is a selfish dhead regardless of what they are driving, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't so fulsome in his praise if it was a shagged out transit.

A mate sent this to me. Happened lunchtime at Knutsford services southbound. No other vehicle involved they drove up the truck protection kerb and parked it there.
I'm sure they had it coned off pretty quickly.

I expect the entire car park was closed all day?

Near empty car park at 7 in the morning. And they'd left the lights on too.

Chesterfield Tesco?

Well spotted. Not your car is it? ;-)

Double yellow lines, check; cycle lane, check; taking up most of pavement, check; Ivan Lendl,....

Bonus points for getting perfectly level with the shop sign to make it almost impossible to get past.

And not a parking warden in sight, tt.

And about 100 yards away from Oxford Police station isn't he?

In which case he is safe.

I know the place.

Recently, empty when I arrived and ... oh bugger ...



Managed to get in the passenger side without touching the Focus.

I had that a few days ago, luckily I had my soft roof on the Elise so took the roof off and climbed in.

or if still too tight, just let of the handbrake and push it out by hand. they are so light and I have had to do that before with mine

Put the advertising frame on the bonnet, plenty of room then.

Owner of this M3 parked like this and put cones around the car just to get coffee...

[mistakenplane]

Seems perfectly reasonable.



Not only missed the spot but also about 2 feet away from the wall so I couldnt turn into the car park and had to stop, reverse and re-align.

I suspect this might be counter productive. It really is just begging to end up vandalised rather than a parking ding.

That's a dropped kerb for pedestrian access, the front wheels are on the lawn in front of the church!

Taxi, though, innit? (Licence plate under rear number plate?) So must be O.K. then!

Nice car, lazy parking:

Behind him (to my left) was a completely empty row of about 10 spaces against a kerb / grass. Could've just parked there to reduce the chance of damage..

People like that deserve bad karma.

I don't think this is what the disabled spaces are designed for.

Just taking the piss, innit?

Crown Point retail park in Leeds this evening. I've seen flasher metal manage to park within a single bay but that seemed too sensible for the R8 owner.

[Fastdruid]

Two in one from this morning (technically three because I parked the MPS like a t**t due to the mouth breather in the landy).


Needed to make a quick stop for some milk this morning, there is a small car park / space outside the shop for about 6 cars *plus* two on the road. Needless to say the car park was filled. So idiot here parks so far back that you cannot properly park two cars in the space and the car behind has to overhang the dropped kerb a bit

Noticed afterwards the transit. Missed that at the time.

That's the kind of tw@t I aspire to be when I'm older.
