Anyone on here? I witnessed your dealings with the car parking ‘officials’ at the school today ! At least I got to hear the exhaust a bit more, that was some noise…..

That was me. I went to pick a friends daughter up for a treat. Never been there before so went for the widest part of the road (by the coaches). Wasn't causing an obstruction and some yellow coated official came over and demanded I parked in a 'marked bay'.... So, drove round to find one only to find I was now in a one way system (the wrong way - no markings/signs to indicate it was one way). Had to reverse, drive out of the school, back in and park in a bay designed more for a Cinquecento than a behemoth....

Made sure I revved a lot when the friends daughter turned up :-)

I think their attitude was a little off, I'd never been there before - wasn't causing an obstruction but I suppose their policy is 'policy'....

Anyway, she was chuffed :-)

I've no idea and I can't see any makers mark on it anywhere. To be honest it was the final straw in making my mind up to buy it evil

Nice. I look forward to seeing it again in amongst all the brand new 4x4 milf machines that fill up that car park at 3.30......

Where were you then and what did you make of the parking officials?

I was at the back standing by the car with my massive puppy (not a euphemism). I was going to pop over and compliment on your choice of transport but wasn't thrilled with the thought of Hendrix (the puppy) jumping up onto your roof dragging me behind him. Those parking guys have to be very official otherwise it's utter carnage.
