    The car that she parked ON TOP OF I think was a ferrari [I can't remember how to spell ferrrrrrrrr.. you know what I mean]

    Looks like a Porsche to me.

    Bet the owner of that penis extension was chuffed when he came back.

    Yea I'm sure you are right about the Porsche, he didn't want to appear on camera in the local news report of this incident, he was too upset. She put her new vehicle into drive instead of reverse.. or so she said and when the car didn't seem to be moving she pressed the accelerator even harder.

    I think the best (worst?) we saw was in France. Guy trying to parallel park in a busy town centre decide to use his bumpers to push a Citroen CV backwards so that he could get his Renault in a space :)

    That's just what happens in France. Drivers park with handbrakes off to facilitate others parking - that's what bumpers are for, they will tell you!

    This can often be circumstance. A car parked between, say, two large white vans. When the vans move, 2 minis park in their place. The car previously parked perfectly in the middle will now appear to be parked "ridiculously."



    This (almost!) has happened to me - I once drove to Bradford to see my brother, and parallel parked outside what turned out to be an FE college. It was about 10pm when I got there, so there were no other cars on the road at all.

    When I returned to the car the next morning, cars had parked all along the street, but there was so much room in front and behind my car that there was space for two small cars there, and the students had stuck signs on my windscreen criticising my parking! L parking - lessons given for free! We could have got two cars in this space etc. etc.

    There's a website called barryboys.co.uk if I can remember and people submit photos of chavved up cars they see on the road, all we need now is a website to take pictures of dodgy parking to shame them :D
    PistonHeads' "Bad Parking" thread already does that...

    The best though is this:

    Yes, that's *parked* not just abandoned.

    One of the worst ones me and DH have seen, well it wasn't parked just attempting to.

    Whilst driving towards the exit of a shopping centre car park we got stuck waiting for this woman to park her car, the space obviously wasn't big enough for her car but she tried anyway, to the right of the space was a kerb and a tree, to the left was a parked car, this woman must have had 5 tries, up the kerb, then into the tree, it wasn't until she bounced off the parked car a few times that she spotted us watching and drove off.

    Needless to say, I left a note on the parked cars windscreen, with the car reg and a description of what happened.

    Just remembered another one, went to ikea the other week and the car park was pretty full as usual, driving round for a spot we noticed a car parking inbetween two cars that were parked in disabled spaces.

    Just remembered this one, at my old house, there was a car park at the top of my drive. Sorry for the bad photo, taken with my crappy old mobile.

    It turned out the front drivers side wheel was hovering off the ground.
