Following that post a few weeks ago about people parking too close and blocking your drivers door i thought 'theres loads of room to get in!!, you guys should see the parking spaces in England!!! Its a fact that parking spaces have not increased in size along with car's (you've seen mini's right??:) )

This is where i park every day!!

Looks mean ( as always :P)

I hardly take mine out. At the moment besides driving to work and around the place.

The roofrack looks close to the roof of the building in one of those pics

Very Tight I love the cladding for protecting the doors from shopping carts and other drivers swinging their door open.

I do not think you could get the door going fast enough to ding anything in the limited space available

As an avid fan of the BBC's Top Gear this reminds me of when they take their old Mercedes and Rolls into London and try and park them! Those guys crack me up:slap::dan_ban::LineWave::laughy:

Top Gear and Fifth Gear are by far some of the finest gear head programs out there. The three on Top Gear are like guys that never grew up, They have more fun then the law allows.

Anyway, parking. There is one difference between parking there and here. Discipline and courtesy. We lack it here. Sorry if this offends any of my Yankee brothers and sisters, but unless you have lived elsewhere, you wouldn't understand.

ROWHARD--- You're absolutely right about people in the USA lacking discipline and courtesy. That's why I carry a baseball bat to instill discipline and demand courtesy. "AIM HIGH"!!!

I was trying to find the other 'parking spaces' thread from about a year ago. I think etlsport started it. I can't find it tho. Anyone know what happened to it?

If you guys need to prove that theory please come to NYC,you'll not be dissapointed.

Here things are so much outer control that if you have the right-of-way you better stop right there or accidents shall happen,drivers cut you off on the spot,no signal warn you where the hell the driver's heading to,head lights are off during night time,60% of them drives with one or more broken light bulbs,free hands cell phone law doesn't apply here,bikers rides agains the traffic flaw;Traffic red light is just a reason to race thru it & double parking is just about your convinience.

You politely complain to another drive about its bad driving behavior & please expect a F there & a F there for answer ending with a classic : mind your own F..... business :madb:

Yeah it's the great apple !

I've driven in both, and yes it is. But the triple parking in Rome takes the cake.

Great! Hope we can grow coffee there. Plus I used to be a worm farmer. "We now return control of this thread back to the Forum users."
