I always try to park well away from other cars, to stop the retards hitting it parking and from denting the bodywork, when they throw open their door. >:( >:( >:(

I know, some cars seem to attract other cars like a magnet. I've been in a car park with me and another car in it, seen a retard inbred family pull up and park right next to the other car, the doors flung open with a thud as they hit the parked car, by the retard driver and his inbred kids. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Whenever possible I try and park next to a nice shiny new car. The owners seem to be a little more careful with their pride and joy.
Parking next to an old banger ( like most Omega here at OOF... ::) ::) ::) ::) ;))......often ends with damage. :y

well i thought that but it didnt work >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Spaces are rediculously small. Even with a small car it's often not possible to walk between cars without having to turn side on. Never mind opening a door and actually getting in.

All the damage on my other car is from other peoples parking >:(
It was pristine, once upon a time.. and then some muppet in an NCP in Sheffield decided they needed three attempts to get into or out of the space next to me and left a big crease in the door (and the outline of the crash bar, ffs!) along with some paint, and then two more nice big dents in the rear wing with some more of their paint.
Then, while it was parked outside my house, someone managed to crash into it and take the rear light cluster out and a big chunk out of the back bumper. The night before I signed the papers on my new house, no less.
Finally, just to finish off the drivers side of the car, someone in Reading car park decided to remodel the front wing with their 4x4.
And now there's a parking ding on the passenger door, too.

i know how you feel... it`s now gonna cost me £200 to have my front bumper repaired and resprayed all because some arse hole hits my car and then drives off... not happy at all >:( >:(
-
i do it myself now with a rattle can ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I think if I wanted the MR2 fixed it'd probably cost more than the car is worth :'(

good practice.. I will try it.. ;D

in job,
I dont park under trees, I dont park very close to buildings (some things strangely drop, or some idiots throw cigarettes) , I dont park in road corners, I dont park between cars.. etc etc..
so no place left.. I just park behind them and block all so nobody can move and damage my car.. so they need to call me..( I leave my mobile number on dash .. numbers being the size of coke can ;D )

You might get lucky ... as posted back before Xmas .... SWTSMBO came out of a supermarket to find a note on her windscreen.... someone decent had watched someone not so decent hit her car, get out and look, then drive away.
They took the number, make and colour and left the note and phone number.
Cut a long story short, after a complaint to the police - who were very good I must say - and through insurers - but without making a claim - all of a sudden the insurers of the other car admitted liability, SWTSMBO had her car fixed for nowt, we had a letter from the police informing us the other driver had received a written caution, then we got a writen apology from the other driver !!!
There are some decent folks out there :y :y :y

Not sure, some of the new mums around here turn into airheads, and nothing but little johnny matters, to the point they probably don't even know they have swung the door open.

You have obviously not driven a Renault 4 then, talk about lean over, worse than my Jeep....... :D :D :D

Correct ;) The oldest Renault I've driven is a Renault 5.. but really, look at this:

I well remember being driven around Kirkistown racetrack by a lunatic, in one of those contraptions. It still brings me out in a cold sweat when I think about it. :o
-
Ahh.. the tin snail. ::)
I did seriously think about getting one once...
.. and turning it into one of these:

Would have been a hoot, I reckon. ;)
-
I could get on board with something like that :y
Not literally, obviously, it'd topple over with me in it..
-
I must admit, the traffic density and price of fuel are making me start to think about something "modestly-powered, but steerable on the throttle". :D
A RWD Avion would fit the bill perfectly. ;)
-
The Westy can hardly be a gas guzzler though, surely? (Or you'd never make it between filling stations with that 27L tank ;D)

It's not too bad. 30MPG commuting and 38 on a motorway run.
Problem is, there isn't that often a decent enough stretch of clear road to keep it on the boil. Although the A339 last night... ;)

Positively frugal! ;) Although not a great option for year round commuting, I suppose.. unless you enjoy getting cold & wet ;D
You're right about the roads though - bringing the MR2 to work last week reminded me why commuting in it tends to be frustrating.. It was less frustrating with the turbo, mind, as you could get past a lot of stuff. Now it's back to it's original asthmatic 136bhp it's much less fun!

Indeed. Hydrolastic suspension will be my next upgrade. ::)

I actually saw one of those the other day, come to think of it - full roll cage installed, lowered and extremely quick (in a straight line). No idea what it had under the bonnet but it clearly wasn't the 1.1 'Knightsbridge' it was purporting to be ;D

That's because you're a fat git ;D ;D ;D
On a more serious point though, you are bang on the money with regard the size of the actual available space.

Believe it or not, our 318 does quite well in that department once you switch the ESP off.
Granted you really have to plant the throttle (and make sure you do it at the right time), but it is doable thanks to having 140BHP and 130 lb/ft of torque available (which is quite respectable for a 1.9 litre IMO).
Fuel economy wise, I can do Leics & back (250 mile round trip) on £35 at todays fuel prices.
Haven't bothered to work out exactly what town driving gives, but I'm getting at least 30mpg without a problem.
