It's a good topical thread that helps bind the forum, thank you for starting it.  :smiley:

Does this section include finding your own car in Westfield when your wife is adamant that you parked on the upper, not lower floor?

If it does 'Black GTI, sight for sore eyes, lower ground section of Westfield carpark'.....  :drool: :grin:

My top tip. Lower ground, just before you take the exit out the car park by M&S area, there are two ultra wide bays. Basically, due to the turn for the exit, they couldn't put three bays in so had to make it two so they're a GTI and half wide. Even the most incompetent Chelsea tractor driver could get their vehicle in without hitting yours. People never park there because a. they have to walk to the escalators and b. if they get it wrong, they're committed to the exit and can't get back into the car park.

Trust me it's all about defensive parking. My top tip is to park across two bays. Very un-pc, but f it!

Steel Grey 5 door GTI with 17" Monzas and no rear LED lights parked around the corner from my house. Seen this car once before around two months at the Total Petrol Station. Looked pretty cool. :smiley:

Blue phase 1 (i.e. non rear LED's) mk 6 GTi and 17" monza's on A38 today at 4.15pm driving towards Mansfield. I was the 'slow-coach' in lane 1 as I needed to leave to fill my baby up with more juicy-petrol !
