The far left airvent. Would it have killed them to straighten it for a photo selling a £1.65m car?

Alphington Road, Exeter's only 24hr free car park.

I'd say the sign has to be like that - the sign itself can't overhang traffic and the poles can't block the entrance to the bridge arch. Or is there something else I'm not seeing?
is the lettering always that st?

Who allowed this on a bloody expensive car.

There are a multitude of things in there, depending on how pedantic one's feeling, but what annoys me is that in these press shots the rear view mirrors are often aligned straight on to the camera.
The fact the indicators and wiper controls are on the same stick make my teeth itch! Not right!
meh - that's livable to be honest. It's the off-set vents that get me (same in the SLK)
You'll likely switch the speed limiter on too, which is also on the left, next to the wipers/indicators stalk!
I always did that when I drove my mate's C63. paperbag

The vents are annoying though!
how the juddering fk did you manage to turn on the speed limiter by accident?

IIRC it's the same button/stalk as the cruise control, prodded differently for each function.

It's the fact it seems to be in Mandarin that bugs the hell out of me, been like that for weeks, if not months.

It's been like that on and off since at least August 2015. I have seen it in normal working order the odd day here and there but 95% of the time I pass it, it's not displaying text properly. Bugs the hell out of me too!

Try and avoid Alphington Rd though, rarely a nice run into town.

I like that ...... except the 'mat' doesn't seem to be exactly central to the door.

It's to stop it getting caught in the hinge.

You would have failed.

Some women are just going to wear white shoes and there is nothing you can do to stop them.
