Parking Next to the Same Model

[SpudLink]

I love this thread. It's comforting to know there are so many people as sad and weird as myself.
Even when I'm driving one of the most common 'white goods' cars, it brightens my day to park next to one in similar colour & spec. Obviously this is magnified when it's something less common.

Do Coke bottles count? Especially as someone's parked a Pepsi inbetween them.

Both met at random

I'll raise you!



Completely unplanned on my former commute, although a slight cheat as evidenced by the road signs!

That'll be an awesome picture for when someone starts the 'driving behind the same make/model' thread

I thought I was the only loser who did this...







It even finds its distant cousin parked next to it sometimes

Always fun when this happens. I think bonus points for sale model/colour should be awarded. Even more bonus points if it's a pre-facelift/facelift combo.

someone's Type-r badge is too high

Ahh yes, one of them has had a replacement badge

Couldn't either of you park in the marked bays? (second photo)

It was a pistonheads meet at the Grasshopper in Westerham, so doesn't truly count!!

Shame about the number plate.

That's when it REALLY counts. We need to set an example, you understand.

Okay not side by side... but parked next to "Vera's" land rover on set



Had a good poke around her car, very interesting. The car was spotted in a farmyard by the director pretty much "as is", who promptly knocked on the owners door and bought it from him on the spot.

All of the rust and corrosion was painted on by special effects artists

The car is actually automatic as the actress who play's Vera (Brenda Blethyn), can't drive a manual car, so the mechanics had to fit a box from a discovery.

It is known to be terribly unreliable, with the gearbox in one instance having to be swapped out at the side of the road on it's way from set to set.

Who is Vera?

Bit of an old one I found.

Get ready for your lecture from the (old and grumpy) Daily Mail...sorry, I mean PH parking patrol.

It's sad that a majority of members on here are bitter old chaps but, there you have it.
