What is it with badly parked supercars?

Nothing really, same as any badly parked vehicle. The only difference is people are more likely to post them......

and write utter wker on them

Ha that’s tue, however there are lots of examples of notes left on badly parked cars. Seems to be a bit of a specialty of our transatlantic friends.

Big, wide, hard to see out of. Not hard to work it out.

I'll just get my secretary to pay the fine.

Not out in the wild but a 5 star hotel I was at recently...

Is that green one badly parked ?

No spaces marked out and that gap looks insufficient for 2 cars ,without some dodgy squeezing......

Parked in an electric charge point bay I think.

I couldn't tell what those posts are for with these aging eyes.....

can forgive the owner for not seeing tbh

badly parked supercars are good for the economy imo, lots of people here in Manchester park illegally and just pay the ticket every time. the money goes to the council

New Aston parked in a parent with child space @ Sainsburys with no child seat in it
Pisses me off as I was with my toddler and had to park right at the other side of the carpark to be in a nice big area with no other cars & carry him to the store, he is a heavy lump
Very inconsiderate as the guy could have parked where I did and walked it easily
I can see why this topic raises the ire of normal folk TBH it is very arrogant and seems to send a message that because people have money they are afforded special treatment

Child spaces are for kids upto 12 apparently so doesn’t matter if he/she didn’t have a child seat! I know what you mean though infuriated me too

I completely agree with you about child spaces, it infuriates me too. However, it is equally as annoying when you come back to your expensive car and someone has dinted it or worse but then not left their details. People have zero respect for anyone these days be that parking in a child space or respect for other people’s propery.

It's a risk I accept taking a precious car to the supermarket, personally I don't lay that risk off by inconveniencing people with children.
Normally even at the local Waitrose with its small car park you can park away from others unless it's Friday or Saturday morning. If you go to Waitrose people are more careful and considerate than at other supermarkets I find. I went to a place called 'Asdo' or something last week as a one off, what a joke. Like a game of dodgems in there with lots of angry looking people wearing pyjamas and shell suits forcing their way around the car park

Also if you find a good SMART guy with the rods they charge £50 to take a dent out and I've had it don perfectly on many of my nice cars so hardly worth stressing about

It's only a car at the end of the day and if it bothers people so much then I'm sure they have another car they can go shopping in or maybe order online of get the servant to do it! Rather than being a selfish prick basically.

Doesn't the Aston have 2 rear child seats built in?

Really? Some of us managed to bring up children without special car park places.

What is 'arrogant'?
1) A parent using a specially allocated space that a private business chose to put there to help them, as it is considerable hassle & potentiallu unsafe loading / unloading kids & buggies and shopping
2) Or an owner of an expensive car who can't be bothered to walk an extra 30 seconds and forces someone who should be rightfully entitled to use the space mentioned above, to use a smaller and less safe space further from the store

Doesn't mean that if they are present, it is OK to use them if you don't meet the criteria. They are a significant help and much safer than normal spaces as there is room to put the buggy out of the way of other cars whilst you load / unload kids. If there wasn't a need for them they wouldn't be there
