And that must've made you wet your knickers and race home to post the photo on PH as soon as you could.

But you would do exactly the same if you owned such a valuable car. It's parked right at the back of the supermarket car park, there are lots of empty spaces around, so it's not an inconvenience to anyone.
Woosh parrot for Sebring440 please?

Which town? Can’t make out the sign at station

I have little doubt the DYL's are full of school-run-mental mums/dads picking up their insignificant others, if our station is anything to go by.

They recently redesigned the drop off area and put in big signs that say DROP OFF ONLY, NO WAITING, but that hasn't made any difference.

Then they added bollards along the kerb on the opposite side of the carriage way, to stop people parking on the kerb and bring all traffic to a standstill but they now sit in the exit lane of the car park with their ignition off trying to ignore the cars behind them queuing to get out.

Don't kid yourself that its a one off 'mistake' either. Its the same cars every night.

Wow, the sense of entitlement is so strong here. “I’m loaded so I’ll park how I like/look at my supercar folks...”.

And no Sebring440, I wouldn’t park like that if I had such a valuable car. I’d simply not take it to the shops.

Self-entitled tt.

Why even own a car like that if you do that when you take it out? It's a car ffs. It's not a precious oil painting that needs to be handled with extreme care.

Ironically, that sort of behaviour draws more attention and makes people want to make a point in return.

What that needed was someone in an old shed parking right up against it. hehe

Amazing, we get the odd roller, Bentley, plus some other upmarket cars in our Sainsbury's, they manage to park in ONE space.

There is a chap who owns the nightclub in my local town and he drives a Lambo. Always parks it on double yellow lines or in taxi spaces etc. Doesn't seem to give a st.

Or even better, he exits the CP, stops at a red light, immediately behind a tipper truck, whose driver inadvertently applies the tipping lever instead of the handbrake, depositing half a ton of hardcore on the red car’s bonnet biglaugh

There is a great scene in 'Breaking Bad' where Walter White tinkers with a car engine so that it explodes. The driver had been behaving like an absolute knob in a filling station shop.

Must admit I have a tad of understanding.

I had a pristine boxster a good few years ago and after only a few months the doors and wings were peppered with supermarket carpark dents. Took off around a grand of its value at resale.

When I bought the AM i used to park as far away as possible from 'couldnt care less brigade'.

And then I went online for everything and never have to place my current P&J, which took a lot of sacrifice and saving, in jeopardy.

Perhaps if people owned an expensive car they might feel differently ?

Nice car BTW !

So do you think your distress was more than someone on a low wage who has stretched themselves to a brand new fiesta?

Proof, that you don't have to be a Brad-Tard to have an nice car AND park like a knob.

I park thoughtfully and sensibly but have never had any damage on any of my cars.

Not at all.

For someone on a low wage a brand new fiesta is expensive.

I am saying that if someone wants to protect their P&J - something they have stretched for, whatever its value, then they should avoid parking with those who do not give a t*ss.

I hope that helps

I've seen this selfish fker a few times at a Tescos near me, so I actually suspect that they might work there. It's always parked over two bays, which is weird as it's just a generic white goods diesel Golf with fake smaller GTI wheels.

Consistent I'll give them that

As you say, if someone takes a pride in their cars appearance, then it doesn't matter how much it costs. I've seen very expensive cars parked equally as badly as old bangers.

As long as all they can do is fine him, he is probably not worried about paying the fine. Until his car is lifted biggrin

Some arrogant fekker in Glasgow does the same with his roller, parks on DYL's outside where he works, apparantly the recovery trucks cant lift it, too heavy, he just keeps paying the fine.
