Btw the oil stains are from an XD gearbox just to give some idea how from the curb the car was.

AUIII XR8 MAN · 30-04-2006, 12:15 PM

But that alright they would have a disable parking permit that allows they to do what ever they want.

No one knew what to do, they ended up letting Soft Roader go through.

You do realise it was probably the safest place considering majority of people are to lazy to walk that short walk to put their trolley away in the trolley bay, don't you??????
And the only ones that will side swipe it are ones that don't care about their cars... :togo:

Just had to be a CRV. Is it a regulation that if you are to drive a CRV, you must be completely inadequate at being able to drive? Most of the worst drivers I've seen on the road have been in CRVs.

I saw a guy the other day at a roadworks go through the slow sign, and stop at the stop sign at the end of the roadworks (the back side of the sign). It was on the wrong side of the road at all, the council worker looked at him, shook his head and yelled "Its not for you mate". I had a chuckle.

Gotta love my "20 foot away from the gutter" parking.

I was expecting a comment like that. lol

Nah its just because I always get worried about hitting a gutter, so I tend to park away from it a far bit.

Atleast the chances of scratching my mags are very low. :Reverend:

flappist · 30-04-2006, 04:36 PM

Whenever I am parking on the esplanade I park about 2 feet out from the curb. This is because there is a bike track next to the gutter and there is one of those "4 wheel family pedal power thing" rental companies doing great business with backpackers and cactorian tourists.
I saw one lose it and side swipe some poor buggers car and then pedal off in the distance. For them to hit me the will have to cross the gutter and crash thereby allowing me to hunt them down and kill them, errr I mean, find them ask them to pay for repairs.

AC · 30-04-2006, 07:03 PM

People have been parking badly for years and years...

Take this for example.

Its a lovley day in Paris, October 22, 1895 of the Granville-Paris Express that overran the buffer stop. The engine careened across almost 100 feet (30 meters) of the station concourse, crashed through a two-foot thick wall, shot across a terrace and sailed out of the station, plummeting onto the Place de Rennes 30 feet (10 meters) below where it stood on its nose. While all of the passengers on board the train survived, one woman on the street below was killed by falling masonry.

My stepfather has a fullsized poster of that hanging in his study.

But the insurance claim for someone hitting you (being illegaly parked) is very high

Very true.

In that pic it looks like its out on the road, but the parks down at the Newcastle Foreshore are pretty wide, so it wasnt out on the road.

I actually think after that pic, I parked it closer.

Isn't the other car at fault? Not the honda? I see a wan-ker in the middle lane with his right indicator on, isn't that what the pic is referring to?

LUXO_8 · 30-04-2006, 07:37 PM

Geez, what a tough way to go, walking along minding your own business when a train falls on your head. What are the chances.

The Monty · 01-05-2006, 01:31 PM

So true. Get to heaven, "How did you die?", "Got hit by a train falling out of the sky". "Ahahahahahahahaha."

XR-ENVI · 01-05-2006, 03:31 PM

I wish i had of taken some pictures whilst away in South Korea recently because i would have had heaps for this thread. They just park wherever they want, on sidewalks, stright, angled behind other cars half on/off medium strips. They havea good system though. Drivers have a little pillow on their dash board which has their mobile number on it, so if someone is parked behind you blocking you in you can just call them to come and mover their car!!
