GMX Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Earlier today, on the multi-laned traffic light controlled Fleetsbridge junction of the A35 and A349, I found myself in lane 2 (for wimborne). In lane 3 (exit for A3049) , just ahead of me, a lime green Corsa with a matt black tailgate and lots of stick on bits from Halford. It was carrying the requisite number of chav types, occupying all the seats. I couldn't help but notice the rather large twin 8" diameter tailpipes, that from a distance, looked suspiciously like catering size tin cans!. When my set of lights changed, and I moved closer to it - I could see they were, in fact catering sized tins of baked beans! He hadn't even bothered removing the labels 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMX Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 It may be the same Corsa, now with added cans, that I've seen in Tescos car park, unless lime green ones are common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hadn't even bothered removing the labels That reminds me of the kind of thing you would do as a child, like wedging a plastic bottle to your push-bike's rear tyre. To do something like that to your car as an adult (I use that term loosely for Vauxhall drivers) is just childish, and there is nothing more worrying than a person driving a car with the mindset of a 12 year old. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at how far forward I am parked, I am still IN the bay completely, so it gives you an indication of how big the bays are, yet this guy decided he didn't want to be in his and thought his nose would come into mine!

jeebowhite Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 He just wanted to cuddle up to a real car, I suppose I can't blame him for that. But yeah it is annoying when people do that. Went out one time, found a car mm's off my bumper at the front, and a neighbour many houses away parked on the double yellow lines behind me leaving about 3 inches. I still managed to get the car out but when your trying to get your pregnant missus to hospital quickly you can do without these idiots. I got the missus there and back (must have been half ten at night) found the same space when I got back so squeezed back in. Then at midnight that night, I went and hammered on his door, told him to move his van as the wife was in labour and I couldn't possibly get out. After waking him up, and seeing the guy I'm his boxers (not nice when his beer belly was about ten times the size of my pregnant wife's) He papped himself, ran inside, got the keys, and moved his van to an actual parking space. I got my car, drove around the block and then parked outside my house and went to bed. Told the missus the next morning, she couldn't stop laughing, later that day she actually went into labour, perhaps the night before frolics and revenge played a part.

That's when you need to drive like the French just nudge them out of the way until there is enough space. Or you could buy a Citroen cactus cos they've got bubble wrap on the bumpers and doors Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisroberson99 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 You've got to give it to the French though, they come up with interesting designs that Ford, Vauxhall or VW never would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
