Mind you, he'd have only got halfway in before he got hooked on my towbar, and only halfway out before his chin got hooked as well.

Those of you who are appalled at this should probably never park your cars in Paris ;)

Yup! I work with a Parisian who regularly bounces off the concrete pillars/walls in the office car park and doesn't care one jot, "it's just a car" - fortunately he resists careening off other cars ;D (In his defence it is an awful, awful place to park - a maximum of two spaces between concrete bollards, and at least 70% of the staff don't seem to be able to park; more than once I've got the car squeezed into a space only to find that I can't get out of the door even though the other side of the car is a nanometer from a concrete pillar. It's already claimed some wing mirror paint on the Omega and a scrape on the front end of the MR2, and I consider myself a good parker!  :'( )

i think i might start carrying concrete bollards and a spiked steel fence to put at either end of my car , just in case this breakwit ever decides to "park" anywhere near mine.....


and add an extra couple of nails to my baseball bat.....  to be sure...
