Parking Skills.

Spotted this morning in Ponsnobby - made me laugh, thought I'd share.

As Ford Prefect would say..... "Looks like a fish, moves like a fish.... steers like a Cow..." :rockon:

[Fishy]

haha muppet.......

[Fishy]

or was it just a female driver?

Very funny - Douglas Adams would have been proud. Seriously though these cars handle extremely well...there really is no excuse. It's not so much parked as abandoned methinks.

[Motu]

I like to find people parked like that - then I park my Pajero 50mm from their drivers door....

[WRT]

BTW - Mcjim, saw you coming up the motorway this morning. I was in the car, but your bikes pretty easy to spot ;-)

[xwhatsit]

Hmm, despite now living in South Auckland, I work in Remuera, Ponsonby and Parnell (different branches of same restaurant). I always find it amusing, especially in Remuera you see it, all these rich ponces with slicked back hair, sunglasses, arm resting on the window while driving their black Porsche 911s. They like to rev it up out of the traffic lights (but most times I can actually out-accelerate them on my 250, I love bikes ^_^) but the amount of times I've seen near misses, lane weaving (can't these guys drive straight?), and truly terrible parking I've lost count of. Parking is what really gets me though; these guys don't seem to know what broken yellow lines mean.

Recently in Remmers they were doing some road re-surfacing (at last!) along our stretch of road, and the tow-trucks were being the usual pricks and giving no warning at all before towing cars, so I was keeping an eye on where customers were parked and giving them a heads-up before they got towed. However, I did see with great satisfaction a guy park his expensive Mercedes not only in the way of where they were about to start tearing up the road, but it was on yellow lines as well. I told him he might want to move his car to avoid a ticket, but he said `oh no I parked out of the way', really arrogantly, so I thought just stuff him. About 20 minutes later he saw his car go past in behind a tow-truck... went running out of the restaurant and gave me this really dirty look as though it was my fault. Expensive night out... I bet he wished he didn't try and show off in front of the woman he was with by buying the most expensive wine we stock as well. Isn't schadenfreude sweet?

That's a lie! - I wasn't fiddling with myself on the motorway at all....I was just ....resting my hand on the fuel tank.....erm...didn't realise people could see what I was doing....sorry.

[NotaGoth]

I actually have witnesses who will clearly state that my parking is just as good... If not better.... *cough* two parking spaces.. *cough cough*

[Qkchk]

Are you sure it wasn't Qkkid? He parks the Jeep like that! :lol:

[McJim]

When did he get a Bentley?

[centaurus]

A friend of mine has a saying:

"The better the car, the worse the driver".

Everytime I see one of these "bluppers" I remember his saying, and until now, it has proven to be right allmost everytime

[Coyote]

I think he's parked his ultra expensive Bently arogantly perfect. After all, they're obviously so important that they would deserve several parks

[MattRSK]

oh how dare that little starlet park within 2 metres of my Bently. :angry:

[stanko]

I cant see the problem, except a huge case of penis envy. There is plenty of room for that car . Shit only this morning I had to get out of the car to move some roadworks sign that was blocking where I needed to park, inconsiderate pricks

[MattRSK]

It's just for fun Dover. Möchtest du etwas trinken?

[Ixion]

Stop squabbling please. The infractometer is ticking

[The_Dover]

nah, I just got in from the pub bro.

settle down ixion, there's no communists in here

[McJim]

Stop squabbling please. The infractometer is ticking

I'm confused - I only took the shot coz it made me laugh that for all their money they still couldn't park straight in an empty street.....or has someone made a comment and then deleted it/had it deleted for them?

Damn, I missed it - was it funny?

[MattRSK]

Vielleeicht ein andermal. Bis später.

[Ixion]

No, not funny. I wouldn't have PDd it if it were funny.

[andrea]

lol you guys should see how some of the guys at work park they are like totally useless:scratch: , well i guess you can't blame them most of them are homosexuals:weird: :buggerd: :yes: <_<

Where do you work? Are you a hairdresser?

[Dilligaf]

rzylC42Fqe0&NR
even overseas.....

[wybmadiity]

Maybe the parkbrake wasn't on and it rolled back a bit? ... Just a theory. :)

[KLOWN]

I must say though, if you see a porsche manage a 3 point turn or a parallel park the driver is the man. Porsches have the worst turning circle ever you would be lucky to have a turning circle under 100m in one of them.

[andrea]

haha umm nope not a hair dresser dude:innocent:

[Mole_C]

Nice, the funniest i've seen was when the cops came to visit us in the albany megacentre and parked horribly on a big angle with the front wheel up on the curb.

Us: "Nice parking"
Him: "Yea, female partner" :rofl:

[dnos]

Haha, weve all seen it before.
I have a fond memory of some lady bending her bumper as she tried parking in newmarket. You know the noise it makes - woulda thought she might figure out that her very new mercedes didn't like being rubbed against concrete.
Still makes for good entertainment for the rest of us.

[0arbreaka]

its probably paul holmes bently, hes a pretty useless driver. seen him driving a couple of times, one of which he stalled...

I hope the converse also applies. That would make me a FANTASTIC driver.

[Paul in NZ]

Jeeze - cut the guy a break - it probably broke down and thats where it rolled to a stop.
