hywelkidd Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Actually. ..... On new years eve at the Dr's surgery we were advised to park on the cross hatch by the attendant due to severe shortage of available spaces. I really don't mean to defend a poxhall of all cars but sometimes. ...I mean if the car park was empty I'd 100% agree with you :) There were plenty of spaces left, just a little further from the entrance.

jmurray01 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I saw another fisty parking effort from a vauxhall yesterday... 20160102_131318.jpg20160102_140534.jpg Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk I'm noticing a pattern here! Not only can Vauxhalls not stay within the perimeters of turning lanes (see my dash cam footage) but they also can't stay in parking lines. Aren't we so lucky to live in a country where Vauxhall is one of the most popular brands? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappers96 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Back in collage, one of the lads wanted a Fiesta ST. Only problem was, he worked part-time at Burger King, so he bought a s**tty C***a instead. One day he was on about getting it wrapped. It was gonna cost him loads, the poor s*d. So, being the great mates we were, we did it for him, didn't even charge him labour. (just noticed I'm just as guilty... I was driving the grey 2010 Astra J just behind the Corsa at the time...) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyrule Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I know you guys will enjoy this one. So where I used to live was a hotbed for antisocial parking, but this lady takes the crown. I'm still a member of the resident's forum so love seeing the updates of all the things ppl !Removed! about, from interesting to trivial. So she parks her vauxhall in the emergency access area and basically harasses anyone who approaches her about it. As you can see she parks her car here and blocks this area, which is meant to be for emergency vehicles, disabled access only. But every now and then justice comes along. Not sure what happened but she has been clamped and apparently police are involved. Safe to say she is not going anywhere, anytime soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmurray01 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Wow, despite being a 2009 model it doesn't exactly have a great MOT history!!

jeebowhite Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Pretty poor history really and for a car with such low mileage... Superb vauxhall build quality Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb vauxhall build quality Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Isn't it just? Incidentally my grandfather's 2005 Meriva cost over £700 for its last MOT (mainly welding) whereas our 2005 Nissan PASSED its last MOT with no advisories! And guess what? His Vauxhall has around 60,000 miles whereas the Nissan has 200,000. Should be the other way around, wouldn't you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ianb Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 That sums it up to a tee! And people mock me for wearing a shirt on dress-down days!! Nothing wrong with looking tidy... I've got to admit, although I wear t shirts a lot, I do actually feel a bit more comfortable in a collared t-shirt at minimum (with collar down!). I'm more than happy to wear a shirt, I have a selection of quite nice ones as well... Getting a bit tight now that I've put on half a stone over xmas.... 16 1/2 stone and counting >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
