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.

Ahhh your pic doesn't show that, so in that case I take it all back. Lazy

I saw another fisty parking effort from a vauxhall yesterday...

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?

Can't Park, can't drive, like the feacial position and like spontaneous combustion. The car world's answer to terrorism

I like that all the comments are obviously from fellow c***a haters

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...)

Hahaha... Nicely done!

^ Lol that's quite an improvement, with the added benefit that it's less likely to fall apart.

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.

Apparently it is also untaxed at the moment... Hmm!

If it's not declared SORN, by being untaxed it will subsequently invalidate it's insurance too :lol:

Wow, despite being a 2009 model it doesn't exactly have a great MOT history!!

Check this out:

SN09 AOC MOT History.htm

Worryingly it also seems to be used to transport a child...

That looks like it's put in for an MOT without regularly being serviced. Only the items it fails on are then subsequently done :o

Are you really that surprised? I'm not... :rolleyes:

Pretty poor history really and for a car with such low mileage...

Superb vauxhall build quality

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? :blink:

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 >.<
