That's what parent and baby spaces are for.
Really? I thought it was for someone like this in a BMW.

The link was about parking abuse and - in particular - the sort of person I see nicking parent and baby spaces.

The stereotype fitted for me, so I posted as it seemed relevant to the previous post (if not the topic). Shame it didn't for you....

My golf is like a child, smells, breaks down in super markets, costs a fortune, leaves random fluids every where. Can I park in one of these parent child spaces???  :grin:

Haha Ive just read all this thread through, you guys crack me up.  Parking idiots aside, i am 6 1' with two child seats in the back and a two door and i can put the seats forward, climb in the back with them,close the door if i have to, if space is at a premium and still do up there seats. My mk3 gti was a 5 door at it looked good but in my opinion 2 doors ftw any day.

Let the fight continue...

So...... To the OP, did someone put their car forward?
As you've posted only once, I'm guessing not! and this springs to mind...

I would like to say the film crew were a very friendly bunch and the driver is the main guy for the Top Gear mag who had a mk2 in the past. He commented on how well my mk2 handled  :cool:

Not allowed to say much but see me on tv in sept. GET IN!! :grin:
