Sorry fellas but anyone who parks like that is asking for trouble. If a BMW where to double park they would be classed a tosser, yet it seems some people think it's ok if GTI owners do it.  It only takes some tw*t with a key to spoil your pride and joy.  Just my opinion.

I have to say I agree with keyser's point.  This sort of parking is likely to enrage some young chav who can't get parked up and they won't think twice about walking by and keying your pride and joy.    :sad:

Just a word of caution!

I agree with the comments above about inconsiderate parking, but you can't tell from the photo who was at fault.

It could be that when the gti arrived, the cars already there at the time were already over the bays and the gti just used the space that was left. When the cars around the gti have gone, and other cars turned up and been better parked, the gti will look out of place.

This happens in our street. You park your car with a nice space around it, then the next morning you find that the car behind ends up sandwiched right up your bumper and the car in front is half a carlength away... and to people passing, it looks like you were the guy who parked stupidly close to one and miles from the other.

Anyway - just thought I'd put my detective hat on!

So far, I haven't seen any tosser GTI drivers on the roads, which was definitely one of the reasons I felt it ok to buy a gti!

Tut tut OllieB7...taking up 2 spaces at B&Q Aberdeen  :grin: :grin: :grin:



 :grin: :grin: :grin:

Na f#ck it - parked like that on purpose in a way that makes sure no one parks next to me - just takes one dent to be really pissed off and a lot of people at B&Q don't take much care when loading their car with sinks!

 Ex BMW TOSSER and proud of it! :wink: :grin:

My Dad had an A3....parked it in Asda Wakefield about 4,000,000 miles from the main door and guess what big "fooook off" scratch on one visit and dent on another visit. Now here is a man who parks at the furthest and most un populated space in the whole car park!
I recon we should bring back capital punishment for all careless parking car owners!

This drives me mad! So many selfish people who don't give a sh*t! I've had people do it to me when I've been sat in the car! Luckily not got any door dents in the GTI yet.... I always park in an end space if I can, so I've only got one side to worry about! My Missis thinks I'm mad, and I'm probably a bit sad, but this happened after only a couple of months of ownership and I was gutted! (left overnight in golf club after a wedding)

That makes me really angry, especially when they run away like cowards from owning up.  :angry:

I never thought about this before, but if it's windy, I guess that you should always look for a parking space which points the nose of the car into the wind.

That way, when some clueless fecka parks their car next to you, the wind will not catch their door when it opens.
