Blown BA In Your Face Member 6,195 Member For: 21y 9m 29d Gender: Male Location: Peninsula Posted 02/11/04 10:41 PM Share Posted 02/11/04 10:41 PM The yellow line is there for a reason. (bloody haag idiot) But I must admit one of my parking pet hates.If forced into a car park I always park next to a concrete pillow with in a few millimetres as I know its not going to smash into me or open its bloody door on me (yes, I hate fat lazy people) but by doing this it leaves good room on the other side of my car usually enough for the fat lazy bas*ard to swing his/her door right open and still miss my car. But no this does not always work to plan sometimes a lazy d1ckhead will park right on the yellow line or even over it because he can.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>That's why I park next to a pole, and still take up two spots.Haven't had any door hits yet <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the roof is full, I'll go onto the next shopping centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My HgAg beast is in a carpark right now (parked away from all the other cars, of course). It was in Woden? I haven't been to Woden in about 2 months, so it wasn't me. Whew!

God666 Complete Bastard Donating Members 1,123 Member For: 21y 1m 3d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 04/11/04 07:17 AM Share Posted 04/11/04 07:17 AM You guys need to come with me next time I am heading to France if you want a real education in parking. I am not talking about carparks there, it is the off-street parking. The general idea there is that you only need 100mm front and back between cars (I am deadly serious). You don't need to do a 10 point entry to get into the car spot, you just use the compressible nature of the front and rear bumper on the car, that way you have about 300mm total. You also don't put your handbrake on in your car, you just leave it in gear (all manual cars there). That way, the other car can nudge yours if necessary to make more room. If you put the handbrake on, it won't move and then they just damage your car in the attempt. You will not find a car there without scuffs all over the bumpers. As far as they are concerned, that is what they are there for!It is a bit disconcerting at first but you just get used to it.Oh, and BTW, the equivalent over there of the Barina happily cruises all day at 180 kph. That's the way the all drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
