That I have to concede is one major benefit of the e85, you can lower the roof and jump in like the original batmobile ... :thumbsup:

Trouble is that there's no consideration for anyone else nowadays, so long as Jack is ok, that's all that matters! :x

Oh and don't get me started on how people need at least 2 car lengths to parallel park in!

That is the first picture I have seen of a Range Rover parked between the lines, they seem to be driven by people with too much self entitlement and too little spatial awareness.

Theres no way you could park like that in the UK, either an instant £70 council fine, clamp or your motor keyed.

I received a slapped wrist warning from the local council on my works car park for parking the Z3 slightly over the white line, do it again I would receive a £70 fine. Annoyingly I park against a wall so its not like I'm taking an adjacent space :x

It is pretty crap parking, but I have mentioned more than once about the size of parking bays, I know if you can shuffle each space a few inches, you will get another car in at the end of the row, but some of them are ridiculously small
