I never thought that when I bought my 75 that I would end up walking a lot more but I do! (from the far end of every car park!)

None of us are getting any younger and some of us are getting er... larger. I welcome wider opening doors
As a side note, the new Nissan is actually rather nice

Going back to the late 80's, I parked my car at Sainsbury's, York. A woman then proceeded to park her Mini Metro, at an angle, in the bay adjacent to my cars nearside. She then flung the door open and it made contact with my cars passenger door. Fortunately it was a MK3 Capri with a substantial rubbing strip along the door and there was no damage. She thought my car was empty and had got away with it until I sprung out and abruptly told her that the best thing she could do was to leave that b*****Y thing at at home. Her response - Oh, you're in a bad mood!

Problem isn't the parking spaces. It's the car sizes.
They make the cars bigger to hide the fact that safety technology hasn't actually improved that much, so there's more metal for energy dissipation than anything else. So now the new mondeo doesn't fit with a designed UK parking space. There's your issue. Cars are too big. I mean I think who needs a car bigger than a 75 in all reality? If you have 5 kids yeah, but then you probably can't even properly pull out of a parking space never mind your misses!

Driving skills also play a part. Yesterday watched a women on a Range Rover drive forwards into a space for parallel parking. No way on gods earth was she or anyone else ever going to get that car in that space by going forwards. She would have to have shunted back and forth almost to the point she was reversing in which is what she should have done. She drove off to park or go elsewhere. Being so mean I laughed but in a Range Rover she looked good, rich, impressive and that is all more important then being able to reverse macafee2 |
