Westfield car park has become quite fancy,
The spoiler was extended and it really looks like this is the actual paint as opposed to a wrap. you chaps will probably know wither way...
Wow, parked across not just two spaces, but one of them is a parent and child space! What a massive c**t.The spoiler was extended and it really looks like this is the actual paint as opposed to a wrap. you chaps will probably know wither way...
...you do realise that a lot of car seats for newborns double as part of a buggy system, or can be used as rockers? The whole seat goes into and comes out of the car with the child securely strapped into it. So the "massive c**t" could conceivably have arrived with a child in it's seat, yet whilst the car is parked, the seat is nowhere to be seen.
I once witnessed a very attractive young woman who emerged from a Honda S2000 get approached by a very unattractive hippocrocagorillapig who emerged from a neighbouring battered Astra estate. Both had just parked up in 'Parent and Child' bays. Just as the huffamoose started to lay into the attractive woman for daring to park in such a space without a child, the S2000 driver opened the passenger door, unclipped the seatbelt, whipped out a carrier-seat with a sleeping newborn in it, hooked it over one arm, smiled sweetly at the blustering monster and wished her a nice day. The irony of it? The Astra driver's kids were all at least secondary school age, and therefore she herself shouldn't have been using these 'reserved' spaces. They're wider for a reason - to allow more space to manoeuvre a buggy/pram between parked cars in order to load/unload babies/toddlers in relative safety and to avoid damage to neighbouring cars in the process, not because spoiled 16 year-old princesses are too lazy to walk any further to the front door of the shop, and certainly not because "I have an expensive motor car and am therefore entitled to do precisely as I please".
For those interested in flatnose 911's I'd suggest looking at this site.

I presume the cars posted in this thread are on the registry on there, perhaps not.

Look, I took my daughter shopping in this XJ220 and it fit perfectly well in one space.

Is that Aldi in Wath opposite Bluebell pub?!I live in Wombwell and haven't seen that car about before. I'd love to see it.
Keep an eye out for a silver Ferrari 308 GTB or a yellow F355 Spider though as thoy're my own cars and I have a habbit of making the weekly shop more exciting by using them.
10 PH Spot points if you manage to take a snap of one in a supermarket car park!

Unlike your shopping which doesn't appear to fit in the boot! 
Yeah, the boot on an XJ220 is a little smaller than I thought it would be! I stuck it down in the footwell in the end.
I was surprised to see this, and a little research found that Rainer Buchmann is active again.
1980s Targa, modified to 330 Turbo hp, widebody, glass roof, aluminium doorcards, color coordinated interior,
iPad in centre console for 400W stereo, and of course the stripes, a bit decenter than 40 years ago.
Rainer who ? Buchmann, of bb fame, the company that modified VWs, Mercedes, Porsches and other cars in the 70s and 80s,
not to everyone´s taste (remember the rainbow stripes?) but had some great ideas (IR chip controlled remote lock)
and guts to modify cars that were iconic even back then.
Even did a CW 311 replica as a one-off, more here :
