As somebody that parks exactly like this can I offer a bit of knowledge on why? it certainly isn't because I'm a 'pillock'...

 

Most people drive without a passenger in the car, especially those that park at station car parks. By parking in this way (passenger door up against passenger door) you give both cars more space and room to open the drivers door, which reduces the risk of other people opening their doors onto yours. Yes, if either car happens to have a passenger they will have to wait for 30 seconds until the car is pulled out to get into the car, but for me that is a far more satisfactory result that parking in the middle (like a pillock IMO) and then coming back to a dent in your doors.

 

Makes sense?

 

A know it all that actually knows nothing

[ukoldschool]

bit harsh, but that's ok if it makes you feel better 

[Bajja]

No need! Why make simple things complicated - just leave a widths door!

It only makes sense if you get it published in the Highway Code, and then embark on a multi million pound national TV advertising campaign to make every car user aware.

No, because the person who does have a passenger will inevitably try to squeeze them  in without thinking about moving forward first, so you are more likely to get a dented door, not less.

Did you put a VRS badge on a non-VRS car?

[Naiko]

to put a badge, because I like how you stay. No, it's not vrs .... I'm about to rebuild and lift the power to 150 horsepower ... I set the badge to dream about vrs

[Petunet]

Wow. That was loud.

Here's our new baby. A VRS 230 estate which weve had for just over a week, and we love it. A towbar was fitted this morning, together with a set of mudflaps, and a few other odds and sodds. Cheers all, Dave and Jan

It's done by a Facebook page called Pixar my car. I sent him/her a message at teatime with a picture, and it was back modified before I went to bed. Must admit, I like it. I might have another better one done when all my bits are fitted. Cheers, Dave W

you can get screen wraps for type 2 just like this.

I like the VRS bonnet badge.

[nidza]

 

Long exposition of phone camera has hidden how much it was snowing. Photo was taken 15 minutes after temperament ride on not yet cleaned streets, like in the computer game "God mode" in the barely moving traffic. Quite a pity I haven't brought GoPro.

 

Kids in the back loved it! Not really sure who enjoyed more.

 

Lovely car.

The VrS badge on the bonnet is nice. Did you have to take off the original badge before putting it on? Or does it go over the original badge?

Cool I stand corrected by your superior knowledge. Had a nice holiday just outside Pula in Croatia 3 years ago, wife and I both loved it, wish we had taken the seaplane up the coast to Dubrovnik, hope I spelt that correctly.
