Someone sent me this before, apparently the guy in the TT RS wasn't the only one who couldn't read if you look to the right of the picture.

Reminds me of when we went camping and parked with the lorries behind a car and caravan as we had our trailer. By the time we left, three cars (without trailers, etc.) were parked next to us.


Then in other news:

You would think the staff at the hotel would phone the number on the side of the van for them to contact the driver to move it.....

You'd think so. I park there for work every day (we have an arrangement with Premier Inn) and it was there for days causing mayhem; I was very surprised that they hadn't got it moved.

In his defence, he'd parked as far away from the throng as it is possible to get in Tesco Newbury's car park. The unpalatable truth is that parking spaces have become too small.

Or cars have got wider?

I'd love to have squeezed an old shed millimetres from his driver's door. Plenty of room there...

Ah. Yes. I see.

Minor rewrite:
parking spaces have become too small relative to the size of modern cars.

We need bigger car parks then .... or fewer spaces.

If Costco manage proper sized parking spaces, so can everyone else

It's just selfish behaviour, there is no defence.

And better drivers.

Yeah, but. Yeah, but.

He felt he had to park like that = ten points for unforgiveable, selfish behaviour.

He didn't park it across two bays outside the main entrance = one redeeming point.

He parked it across two bays as far away from the main entrance as possible = another redeeming point.

Tesco should ackowledge that the average size of cars is getting relentlessly bigger = one more redeeming point.

You see? It's only a seven.

The Qashqai wins for being a great entry into the bad parking thread AND the badly modified one!

The amount of times i go into Costco, swing it in any old how, and then I'm still amazed i'm nowhere near the edge of the bays.

4x4 revenge on a badly parked Corvette, moderately amusing.
