Yup, If it's a banger stay away!Does anyone else check out the state of the cars one is about to park next to and move on if they look unloved?

I sometimes do this. Whilst waiting I have even opened my door in an attempt to put people off from parking next to me so they use the next space down. I have also moved to the next space when someone has parked next to me, now that gets you some funny looks....if were out in the S3 I drop her off at the doors and wait in the car at a safe distance. get some funny looks but worth it for peace of mind.
...........I drop her off at the doors and wait in the car...........
What’s your secret mate? I always get dragged in
She is never happy but her options are, Just get it done, or we go home and swap cars. She normally throws a hissy and just goes in. I swear she hates the S3 and sees it as competition.
I get anxiety big time when someone goes to park next to me.
Just yesterday I was parking up and saw this old guy in a banged up 106 open his door into the next car with his stick. heard the thud from inside my car - was fuming and left a note on the other guys windscreen with reg and everything-
I’m bad enough when’s it’s parked in the drive and there is kids about with bikes and footballs

Exactly why (well one reason) we moved to the country. Just lucky we were able to. Blood pressure used to rise if I heard a ball bouncing out in the streetId relocate if my street had kids with bikes and footballs or setup camp behind the car all night.
Mine absolutely would too, but thankfully there are no children in my cul de sac. Even better I have a garage and always use it.Blood pressure used to rise if I heard a ball bouncing out in the street
I’m weird too Even where we are, fairly remote, the cars are in the garage. Partly for security partly out of harms way of the weather (high winds, frost etc etc). Thankfully no real chance of kids being anywhere near them anyway.Mine absolutely would too, but thankfully there are no children in my cul de sac. Even better I have a garage and always use it.
I realise this makes me a bit weird and unusual in modern times.
The fact that it had a garage was one of the main reasons I chose to buy this house.
You're lucky you have a garage big enough. We live in a newish build and even with an empty garage the car is about 30cm too long to fit. Not to mention I'd have to hug the left wall to get it in and doesn't give a lot of room to get outMine absolutely would too, but thankfully there are no children in my cul de sac.

Yes I completely agree.....most modern single garages that are built along with the house are only suitable for small cars, so you can forget about fitting even a medium sized family car in them.You're lucky you have a garage big enough. We live in a newish build and even with an empty garage the car is about 30cm too long to fit.
Even when at clients have to try and find a good space, now before people say "You're over the line!" Originally the drivers side was right on the line , but then as per the 1st Pic the Merc driver comes steaming in encroaching in to my space ( hard to see but his wheel is about a foot over the line) so moved mine over to make a point. Way he done it he barely had enough room to get out himself. Mini rant over.
Not that you can see from the pic but he was a foot in to my bay, so no not parked perfectly wellThat Mercedes looks to be parked perfectly well and you've made yourself look a berk by moving over like that.
Those aren't the actual bay markers, not sure why you're so fuming about this considering I was there, next time I'll be sure to properly highlight the markings.The lines are very faint but it looks to me like he's on the correct side of it and you're over yours. Besides that, the other photo shows that there are dozens of other spaces available for you to use if you're going to be so precious about the whole thing

Most modern garages won't fit normal cars, let alone people carrier. Even if my garage was empty the S3 would overhang by about 20 cm, let alone only a foot space on one side to get outSame here - it's only me and my neighbour that use our garage for putting a car in - Everybody else makes sure their £100 lawnmover is safe along with all the rubbish they no longer need but won't throw away
Some have been sensible and converted them into another room which fair dos if you're not going to put your car in or it won't fit your 7 seater people carrier for the 4 of you
One guy in our street has a Zafira and five children - He either hasn't got a TV or wanted to get the full use out of his seven seater
