Parking Next to the Same Model

Why do they both have the same green sticker in the windscreen? To me this makes it look a company fleet or something.

Work car park permit - bit of laminated A5, not a sticker.



His is the diesel with aftermarket wheels.

Popped into Sainsbury's (did use to be netto and a co-op, but less of that), came back to find this parked next to my car. Yes mines the candidate for bad parking thread, crappy no plate thread, dirty pics thread etc and is a boring dark saab colour.


Never the less couldn't resist taking a photo! They knew what they were doing.
So two saab 9-5's Estate face-lift, 07 and 08 respectably, 1 diesel, 1 biopower.

Slightly cheating as I own both of them currently before the blue one goes. Never seen another one on the road whilst driving mine so can't miss the opportunity. Apparently there is another blue (rare colour) just down the road too but I've never seen it.


A pair of hen's teeth, what's remarkable also is I just checked the VIN numbers they are 6 build slots apart!

I think we can let it go thanks to the rarity and the contrast to your "company" car

Also this thread has been going 2 years now... didn't think it would be so popular!

Does the parking area at BCA Blackbushe count on this thread?




...that was just one side of a square, and the OpenReach vans covered three sides parked nose to tail, with some additional vans in the area contained within. All 06 and 56 plates as far as I could see.

Today I parked my little tanklet next to another 1.4 Tdi A2 in Akoya silver:

He has a private plate the same as his forum username - the other car does not.

Also a PH sticker.

And his radio stations preset to his favourites and his home adress in the satnav.

I'm pretty sure this thread began with the notion that we enjoy parking next to a car that's similar to our own. For some of us there aren't many on the road, and few model variations, so the perceived hierarchy of trim levels is optional.

I'd like to see what was in that trailer!

Exactly. PH sticker = at least 20bhp.
