Cheshire Oaks Outlet Village, 2 weeks before christmas on a Sunday! Not many know about this area of parking, as it just looks like the entrance is for deliveries :yahoo:

Remarkably quiet car park.

And did you cross the road to buy some furniture? :tonguewink:

Yeah was a mid week visit so all the old people were park at the door lol.

No not this time, Mrs G wasn’t with me. Had parked up to eat my lunch and nipped into the Adidas outlet while there lol

Although I've driven past it a few times the past week, I've not been into Sterling for a few years but they used to have a small motor museum near the cafe containing some interesting cars which belonged to the son of the owners (Knowles?). I recall an XJ220 amongst them.

That’s right, remember visiting that a number of years ago too. Think it closed after he died. Must be a car family, quite regularly see the mother in her Merc SL, must be in her late 70’s lol. Think you are right with Knowles too. I cover Clacks area with work so over that way couple of times a month.

Yeah, I couldn't recall if the museum was created before or after his death. Just looked it up, all very tragic eh. I'm sure they use to live across the road from us when I was a nipper in Stirling, I'll check that with my parents.

Bad car, dreadful parking (abandonded!)..... tow it and crush it!

The picture doesn’t really do justice but he had loads for parking space not only to his left but in front as well to park properly. He could’ve easily parked it within the space very very easily. Shows the ‘can’t be bothered’ attitude!

Found a friend today.
Shame my car was so filthy so couldn’t see a true comparison of Mystic vs Navarra blue. Mystic is more purple but very similar.

Car park fire at Liverpool's Echo Arena destroys 1,400 vehicleshttp://news.sky.com/story/fire-has-destroyed-all-vehicles-in-large-liverpool-car-park-police-say-11191272

Would this make you think twice about parking in a multi storey car park?
Unbelievable how many cars were destroyed! Never really noticed before in car parks, but would have thought that sprinkler systems would have been installed?

Sprinklers no good when oil is involved.

You would think someone here would be affected .

Jeez! Bet it was a Prius or something charging that sparked it. Guess that’ll be another increase in premiums.

As for sprinklers, don’t think I’ve ever noticed them in any multi-storeys near me. The flat I rented last year had an underground car park below the building, that didn’t have either, and was only built 2 years ago. Plenty smoke detectors tho
