The picture xD It's the right way up on my phone and on Flickr, so dunno why it's on its side on here :/
Weird, it's right side up on my iPad, hence my confusion, I thought you meant the car was parked sideways, blame the gremlins.

Thanks for clearing that up.

The owners of the house took exception to someone parking on the road outside their house so they decided to leave their drive empty and park their 4x4 in a way to block it in.
they should have thought about that, a £300 Fiesta could have made a nice dent in the side of their £40k? car.

OMG how dare you park on a public road outside my house........... tt (householder that is).
Couldn't agree with you more, they still 100% believe they were in the right and the silver car shouldn't have parked outside their house. I can confirm that this is a totally public cul de sac.
Next time I would just park blocking their driveway, some people.

Is the Fiesta parked on their front lawn??
Hard to tell from this angle, but it looks like it has at least one front wheel on the kerb.

Me (silver merc) parked after the other two had parked. It was the only space and I was late!

I had to climb out the window Dukes of Hazard styley.

No, it was fully on the road. The grass to the left is part of the communal grounds for the flats where the fiesta owner lives.

The old spaces with white paint are still visible, so this prize prick parks his white van within the old space but blocks the last remaining disabled space and doesn't display a blue-badge either.

no wonder people park like a tt when spaces that are so tight are provided....... and people squeeze in them.

Just outside my house yesterday, narrow street. It looks like someone gave up parking, got out and left it. Genius
Mismatched wheel knob too. Shame that E39s are still in the hands of these oiks.

Interchange Retail Park, by any chance? I was there on Sunday and I'm sure I saw this car -or one very similar - parked equally as badly. That place could have thread all to itself. The amount of double parking and general vehicle abandonment that goes on is laughable. banghead

It's not the size of the spaces but the badly parked cars. Hence the thread.

Those three cars could have parked quite normally had there not been two selfish tts that day.

Strong effort from Mr BMW:


Another effort from the BMW camp:


And a pillock in a corsa, clearly too tired to park:

Jesus is that a Hyundai Pony next to the BMW? I thought they were wiped out in the same early 2000s overnight mass cull that claimed the sierra!

Came back to my car after the film and the Audi was gone with no new dents or scuffs to my car at least
