Earlier today, on the multi-laned traffic light controlled Fleetsbridge junction of the A35 and A349, I found myself in lane 2 (for wimborne). In lane 3 (exit for A3049) , just ahead of me, a lime green Corsa with a matt black tailgate and lots of stick on bits from Halford. It was carrying the requisite number of chav types, occupying all the seats.

I couldn't help but notice the rather large twin 8" diameter tailpipes, that from a distance, looked suspiciously like catering size tin cans!.

When my set of lights changed, and I moved closer to it - I could see they were, in fact catering sized tins of baked beans! :lol: He hadn't even bothered removing the labels :lol:

that is something I would have paid to have seen!!!

Unfortunately I was sitting on my phone, so I didn't have the time to release from the pocket, and grab a picture of it.

Is there no limit to the utterly ridiculous things these idiots do to their tin can on wheels ?

not like you can miss him next time huh!

It may be the same Corsa, now with added cans, that I've seen in Tescos car park, unless lime green ones are common

It's things like that, that you hope are done in good humour, because if anyone deserves to be thrown into a volcano with their car, it's someone like that who is doing it seriously!

That reminds me of the kind of thing you would do as a child, like wedging a plastic bottle to your push-bike's rear tyre.

To do something like that to your car as an adult (I use that term loosely for Vauxhall drivers) is just childish, and there is nothing more worrying than a person driving a car with the mindset of a 12 year old.

Kind of brings us in a circle back to driving restrictions in the other thread, doesn't it...

Some of the occupants of the Corsa looked like they'd hadn't actually entered puberty yet, let alone being 12!

And that was just the driver...

Yep...

I suppose you're right, just seems so daft. If you look at how far forward I am parked, I am still IN the bay completely, so it gives you an indication of how big the bays are, yet this guy decided he didn't want to be in his and thought his nose would come into mine!

He just wanted to cuddle up to a real car, I suppose I can't blame him for that. But yeah it is annoying when people do that. Went out one time, found a car mm's off my bumper at the front, and a neighbour many houses away parked on the double yellow lines behind me leaving about 3 inches. I still managed to get the car out but when your trying to get your pregnant missus to hospital quickly you can do without these idiots.

I got the missus there and back (must have been half ten at night) found the same space when I got back so squeezed back in. Then at midnight that night, I went and hammered on his door, told him to move his van as the wife was in labour and I couldn't possibly get out. After waking him up, and seeing the guy I'm his boxers (not nice when his beer belly was about ten times the size of my pregnant wife's) He papped himself, ran inside, got the keys, and moved his van to an actual parking space. I got my car, drove around the block and then parked outside my house and went to bed.

Told the missus the next morning, she couldn't stop laughing, later that day she actually went into labour, perhaps the night before frolics and revenge played a part.

That's when you need to drive like the French just nudge them out of the way until there is enough space. Or you could buy a Citroen cactus cos they've got bubble wrap on the bumpers and doors

Surely, if you're going to call a car model cactus, it needs to have spines rather than bubble wrap.

Perhaps nobody at Citroen has ever seen a cactus

Quite possibly the ugliest vehicle it's ever been my misfortune to see

It various parts don't don't aesthetically go together, the wheels look like an after thought from the lost property box

I think marketing just thought it needed the word Cac in the name. Lol.

Kak t us would be more appropriate i think - just horrid Froggie trash

I remember when I first saw it with dealer plates on, I thought it was pre sales wrapping or protection or something...

The side rubbers look a lot like those cheap headboards from the 1970's, removed from the bed, and plastered on it :lol:

You've got to give it to the French though, they come up with interesting designs that Ford, Vauxhall or VW never would. :rolleyes:
