What did you do to your Skoda today?

Used it to form the top of the E in "YETI", on a hill overlooking the Motor Heritage Centre at Gaydon... -
Funnily enough, on the way into the Heritage Motor Centre this morning there was a Mk3 Vauxhall Astra directly ahead of me. It stopped when it reached the steward, and the driver was having a seemingly-interminable conversation with him determining whether to carry straight on towards the show-parking area or turn left into the visitors' car park. Eventually, it pulled off to the left, and I moved forward to speak to the steward. The first thing he said to me was "I wish the Skoda and Vauxhall badges didn't look so bloomin' similar!"

Fixed that for you.

Bonus, please!

Gave it another wash. That's two now... -
It's a well-known fact that you can park absolutely anywhere with impunity, so long as you put your hazards on. Or at least you'd think so, living in London.

It's OK, I had my hazard lights on...

Bonus point, please!

Although it seems one has been spotted in the Morse spin-off, Lewis... More here, but no starring roles.

I'll be there. Will aim to join any convoy I can find heading up the A40/M40...

Probably owned by the same lady that owns this one:

Those were just offered as examples of things that can generally be relied upon to be perpendicular (unlike Jim H's dad, it seems...). I suppose it would be rather churlish of me to point out that all three Briskodians that submitted off-road shots also included lamp posts or sign posts in their photos. Anyway, that's my last word on the matter. The challenge is over and done and a new one has been set. Let the griping cease.
-
At no point did the challenge setter state that this had to be achieved on a public road. Three people realised what was required - they just didn't manage to find a slope that was steep enough.

Time to declare chrisw880 the winner for his sterling effort, which came closest to the required angle of 30 degrees. Honourable mentions to BossFox and Blackline Stu for also thinking outside the box. Well done to Jim H and pikachu24 for trying, but to be fair this challenge was never going to be achievable on a public road. What was really needed was some kind of ramp: Alternatively, although the challenge said "parked", I would have accepted an entry from anyone who'd been brave enough to try this: Mind you, it could all have ended in tears... But I take my hat off to this guy!
