cant work out if he is slightly over the line or parked really badly in the disable bay and missed 
Not so funny now is it !
I'm pleased that he has been given the all clear, and we all know that he parked like that to stop his car being dented by the soft-roader driver.
However, to suggest that the euphoria of the all clear, or the worry of the diagnosis is reason enough to 'miss' the parking bay, would also suggest that his vision or state of mind isn't correct for driving.
As for the bashing that the car has received from people here, that's not right either. We're all like-minded V8 fans, so is it right to treat a well used and abused example with derision? I reckon that car has seen more fun times than the majority on the forum. If you really want to be snobby, you need to remember that most of the cars on this forum arrived with Vauxhall badges on, and still mention that on the log book. That one doesn't.

Again this is a case of some people on here slagging somebody else's car just because it is different I'm pleased that he has been given the all clear, and we all know that he parked like that to stop his car being dented by the soft-roader driver.

the rear of the car looks like it is a GTO just missing the GTO part of the bumper, can't see the front from the photo's so not sure what the car looks like there but it could be that it was a damaged car and they could only get the early monaro front bumper and bonnet I have seen some GTO's for sale by salvage companies on ebay and autotrader it could be one of those. Oh and James you should know better as you make a living with these cars and maybe one day this person will be looking to upgrade and come to you but not if you dis them.

We've been over here in Florida for the last 17 days (fly home today. ) and only seen one Pontiac GTO so think they must be getting rare over here too......
Hi David I have a friend in Miami that has an 06 GTO and he says there are a few there but most seem to be in California and are now starting to become a collectable car and prices are creeping up I go to Florida quite often and not seen that many ) and only seen one Pontiac GTO so think they must be getting rare over here too......ARAF said:

Couldn't agree more. Well put Ian 
It isn't particularly endearing to those who choose to make these sorts of comments. Especially so when one's business may potentially benefit in the future from the owners of these cars!
I bid you all a good day
+1, although the colour mix does take some getting used to.

B&Q farnborough today.
Paint is very flat Matt finish. Looks like a fairly large dent along the left side of the car. Missing the indicator on the right wing and the wheels look like they are from a Saab 95. Front grill is a Holden one. Exhaust looks like it has seen better days. It's either a rat look drift car or it's a car that's been saved

Think those wheels are standard for the US GTO
I like to think I'm pretty good at spotting random stuff on cars and knowing what/where it's from, but I won't ask how you knew that! Obscure for sure!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_GTO
