In the south of France at the moment,
parking here is a whole new level. An inch is considered " room to manouver ". I would be having kittens if I had driven my beloved down here!
Mind you even with our hire car old habits are hard to shake.... Furthest, safest spot possible....
Nice car the Jaaaag, ( sorry you have to say it like that!) but the satnav is so sloooow.
Ps.. Thought the Mrs had over packed ( kitchen sink n all , 3 cases ( 2 med and one soft large bag + toot in boot) the Jaaaag confirmed it !!
+ 1 laaarrge Case inside as well !... Oops

Not a bad hire car.
Where we drive in Spain is empty compared to French roads. Plenty spaces to park and definitely not as good hire cars.
That multi-story one is the prefect spot.

Went premium on the hire car... Multi storey was a great spot but god it was so tight getting round and down to it. The place is designed with Renault twizzy's in mind i think not barges like the Jaaaag.
Nice to fly the flag though!

Nice pic Rob...
Those trolleys look quite 'sinnister' to me though..
ps I wonder if the trolley forum have an extreme parking thread...lol
Doesn't look very extreme but this is the overflow car park and it was empty when I got there. Lots of horror parking in the main car park so glad I went extreme .....
Was at IKEA in Glasgow a few weeks ago... never got a picture, however can you guess which space I parked in? there was only 20-30 cars in the place as it was almost closing time... but that's no reason to park close
Bonus points for getting the exact space!

Hope you were quick as that isn't an end space and nice motors in cars parks seem to be a magnet for old heaps to use an adjacent space. Mate of mine has a little door ding on his S3. No paint damage but it is on the rear wheel arch so rod people can't get to it to push it out. He is gutted.
You're right mate I could have gone ultra extreme and parked at the end of the next bay where the Ford is. Luckily it's pretty quiet at the side and was the same when I got back! Sat in the coffee shop watching the crazy parking shinnanigans out front - very scary indeed !!!! Sorry to hear about your mates car hope it's easily sorted.
Can they not get behind the wheel arch lining? Few years back my Z4 got a door ring in the same place, and the guy from Dent Devils did exactly that. Did an amazing job as well.
Hope i can join in sneakily with my A4.
no other spaces available, so chose a nice Scirocco and parked over 2 bays
My other choice was this one... A line of brand new cars coned off (probably for a display or something at work) so why not park a audi beside them to show a proper car...
Normally park over the walkway at work. Got a pathway down centre of car park which is the size of 1 normal space. Stick the wheels on the white line(or just over) and means that the person beside you isnt going to open a door on your car.

A lot of this is very funny, but I have been doing the lonely car parking for many years , much to the chagrin of passengers. The one spot I will evade at all costs is one that has a car with 2 doors, and any vehicle with baby seats in it.
Does anyone else take a photo of the car next to you when leaving your car next to someone in case you come back to a door ding etc? and also give the car a full check all around when you return to make sure there's no damage?

A bit risky with the first photo I reckon... I've seen people get quite irritated when 2 spaces are occupied like that.

Yep afraid so, I think the last one was an SUV with a tow bar, just in case....

They say that people who take up 2 spaces are more likely to have their car keyed!
Yeah, parking over two spaces is a no no, sure way to get your car keyed by some jealous/irritated moron

And if everyone did it, there would only be half the number of spaces!
