The BAD PARKING thread [vol4]

[Harry Flashman]

I quite enjoyed this in Mayfair this morning. Not as bad as some, but I couldn't leave the car like that. Also, on a yellow line, opposite a turn so causing issues.

On a separate note, how st does black on black on black look?

Very.
You're not Knight Rider and you never will be, so stop it.

It's somehow even worse to need a taxi to the kerb on the driver's side. They haven't even got the excuse of not knowing how wide the car is.

On a separate note, the numberplate should be on the bad numberplates too - they've gone out of their way to have non legal spacing, but it still doesn't seem to spell anything I can see.

Would have been worse were it not for the minor relief provided by the silver of the diamond cut alloys.

Diamond cut alloys are a separate irritation in salty Scotland - I hate them with a passion.

I quite like the black look. It would be a dull world if we all liked the same thing.

I quite like the black look. It would be a dull world if we all liked the same thing.

But we all like different things! There are many different combinations of colour and trim on the road today.

It’s just a very high percentage don’t like that one.

On here maybe, but you see a lot on the roads so obviously a lot do like it.

In reality that exact combo is a rare sight.

So the correct term would be some and not a lot.

Unless you name is Nick and you are 70 years old?

I see quite a few black with black cars so I'm not so sure about that.

But hey it doesn't actually matter what we think about someone else's car choice, if they like it then that's all that matters.

Indeed. I just think that a lot of design detail is lost on black cars, then the black wheels just hide the actual design and size of the wheels too... Not for me!

In the same respect the 'perfect' spec on a car for me would likely be considered st by someone else.

I don’t see many, being perfectly honest.

Glad to hear that other people opinions don’t matter to you after all.

I can see that you're just trying to "win" on the Internet with each comment, so let's leave it by saying you've "won" well done you.

Maybe they're just goth? Pink teeth from all the snakebite and black is a dead giveaway.

I had a Vauxhall 10+ years ago, one mod that the blue LED brigade were fawning over was replacing all their interior trim with "piano black". Great, shiny black cheap-looking plastic everywhere with fingerprint marks on it. Even car manufacturers realised it was ste and it seemed to be a very short lived trend on new cars.

One of my colleagues had a gen4 Prius, and that was a gloss white trim horror show. He had those pieces wrapped in gloss black vinyl almost as soon as he collected it from the dealers. Didn't last long as he had it re-wrapped in a dark grey carbon weave after a few weeks.

Smart move - adding carbon wrap to bits lightens them.

Correct. I was deliberately playing on your second obvious phobia about not having the last word.

Ordinarily I don’t care.

I bet that itches right about now.

It does a bit.


Ah crap you've won on the Internet again!

I’m rarely wrong about such things.
