But I failed, miserably and completely

Went to the stupidmarket on the way home from work, followed a homemade mini camper van into the under store carpark. Well, I tried to. It failed the max-headroom test

but still continued to attempt to enter the carpark

The roof is raked so it only gets taller towards the back. You would have thunk at the first horrendous sound of impending doom

they would have stopped, specially given bits of the mesh type roller door, and chunks of fiberglass were falling down around them, but NO.

Just kept on attempting to enter despite the carnage. Eventually are unable to go any further, so the driver hops out to investigate.

At this stage I backed up and went in through the out door and headed up to the shop. Picked up what I needed to and headed back down.

Van is till firmly wedged under the roller door, but now there are lots of "advisors" helping the hapless driver.

I stopped and suggested they take all the air out of the tyres and back out ( there is a service station complete with air) about 20 metres for the entrance. I wonder if they are still there.

Wish I had a camera with me, worth pure gold

Great end to my day, not so wonderful for them.

I'd have stopped, got off my bike, took off my gloves and helmet walked right up to the driver and laughed my ass off right in his face.
It's amazing how stupid some motorists are

Years ago we rented a camper van, I actually had bad dreams about Max-headroom and the damage he could do :

This simply went from bad to even funnier the more he tried to drive IN to the carpark

Sent from the deck, using telepathy as it is far too hot to be inside atm.

I love the fact he kept going...I almost admire his pigheadedness

Not sent by me at all, rather sent by my private army of Peruvian Knee Monkeys who used the bleached skulls of their ancestors to tap out a message on the bones of a lemur.

Yes, im not entirely sure the driver was hapless, for he was neither luckless nor unfortunate.

This reminds me of a day when I watched a lady back her Surf out of a supermarket park:

She somehow got it all wrong and hit the side of the car next to her. She must have heard something as she got out and walked around to investigate, had a quick look, got back in the wagon, slammed it into reverse and backed out tearing the bumper off the other car...not sure what the owner of the car felt about things...

Reminds me of the day I saw a "society matron" in a very superior Jag of modern age, back out of a park and gouge the side of the toyota average, with a car seat attached in the back, next to her. She also stopped and got out to survey the damage she had done, observed it and drove off! Cnut! Lucky for her I had her rego etc, and left those details, along with mine on toyota average windshield. Turned out that was not the only vehicle said matron dented that day

The other day I was in a warehouse carpark. They had a separate area with a big 4 inch galv pipe divider set in the ground. So I park in that next to the pole and go shopping.

Come out a few minutes later there is an asian woman with a kid standing up with no belt on in the back; she tears into the carpark. She then swings for the space next to the pipe on the other side to me, completely misses by a metric mile and rips the right hand side off her car. I mean completely broke the bumper, tore the headlight right out, pushed the guard under the bonnet, kinked the bonnet and stopped when it got to the right hand wheel now firmly embedded in it.

Took pause for about 30 seconds at how in a carpark she had managed to plow that far into the pole by just not braking, not letting off, just swinging in and assholing the pole. I walked up to my bike, started it, sat on it and kinda looked over at her shaking my head then drove off. Moron would of destroyed my bike if the pole wasn't there. This is a 4 inch shiny pipe that sticks up that is pretty easy to spot, asian woman without the kid strapped down, could hardly speak english from the words I heard her utter. Some people are just real winners at driving.
