So shocked that this was a BMW...!

 

 

Haha that place is mental to park in on the weekend.  I can tell you Bibs it's no better where i moved to in Godalming, it's just the cars parked over 2 spaces are all surrey SUVs!

I wish they'd angled their tyres inwards.

To be fair, the Mercedes driver got out of that situation very well. What with it being a hatchback with access to the passenger compartment and then with the electric self-closing tailgate as well.

Here's a couple I spotted on holiday in Sicily last summer.

Punto casually parked outside a supermarket entrance.

Umm, how do I park in this one?

[ramjet]

And the engine was still running........

[PAR]

Yes so you can move the van and park it properly during the time he delivers!

And another at the local shopping centre.

I do think that the driver should complain that the lines were not painted to accomodate their car properly. The cheek of the shopping centre.

2 hours sleep, early flight to Cork, I am knackered and return to a packed hotel car park this evening. Well thank you sir, if you zoom in you will note the gold intricate tissue box on the rear shelf. 

Brake fluid or gun you decide 

At least he folded his mirrors in

[Arregueti]

Amazing. I would just park sideways next to his rear fender.

In Chobham Services last night. Seconds after a guy pissed up the side of his van 2 spaces along!

VW on the right, just wondering what the last 3 digits on the number plate were....

Looks like it has already knocked over 2 children but the police must have been involved and done the outlines.😁

Eurotunnel on Friday morning

It seems Porsche drivers don't trust ASDA shoppers 😅

To be honest, I've done that in the Evora, through usually I would park on the spot on the right millimeters from the kerb to provide the maximum "safety margin" on the passenger side of the car. However, the irony is even when I have done that, in a far away very empty part of the supermarket car park I always come back and some twat and has just had to park in the spot next to me even though there are literally dozens and dozens more convenient empty places everywhere.  I just don't get it.

Looks like plenty of available slots, but still poor form. As @C8RKH says, no matter where you park, someone will park next to you, because it’s easier for them to use your car as a marker, than to look at the white lines. Most memorable case for me was when I was selling my Subaru Impreza 22B. The new buyer had viewed and paid a deposit, prior to balance payment and collection a week or two later. In the mean time, I needed to pop to the supermarket in it. It was a quiet weekday and I parked as far away from the entrance as possible. I was only in the shop for 5 minutes and came out to find this sh!tty old 4x4 rust bucket parked with his driver’s side tight up beside my car. Sure enough he’d opened his door straight into mine and chipped the paintwork. Probably the only blemish on the entire car. Since the car was as good as sold, I just took it on the chin and made sure the new owner didn’t notice it when he came to collect.

That is bloody annoying @LotusLeftLotusRight and I have actually stood by one of my cars in the past, for just over 30 minutes, waiting for someone to come back who had done something similar. I had photographed the cars, how they were parked and the damage - you could see their red paint on my white door!  So when they come back we have a little argument where they deny everything until I point to the damge, the paint marks and then show the photographs I have. They paid for the repair. I did ask why they parked so bloody close when the car park wasn't even 50% full and they just looked at me like I was the dickhead!  Argh.... People are just so bloody selfish and stupid.

[philcool]

Don't blame the bloke one bit porsche driver has nothing to do with it .

Rather people take pictures than come back to damage and the hassle and cost that goes along with it .

Parked at goodwood yesterday for members day and I can honestly say people were superb but that's because they are car people.

I always look at whoes next to me worst is a 4×4 with child seats and yes my own kids kicked my door open onto my friends new BMW 5 series when they were small so I know kids will be kids
