Surely can't be because of the driver? :D

In the words of a recently departed forum member, "the guy in front was driving too slow so I crashed"

:lol:

How dare anybody obey the speed limit!!

Yep, seems about right!

There is absolutely no excuse for bad parking - even on my first time driving I managed to park the Primera (a full-size saloon) within the lines, easily.  My mother has also done so for over 20 years - since she started driving. 

I did have a chuckle at that, but now I've thought about it...there should only be a small section for those of us that can actually park right near the shop. :P

Some massive spaces near the back for those of you with mint cars that take 2 spaces to avoid inconsiderate buggers.

And then just a free for all without lines in the middle...that's near enough how it is anyway. :P

Yeah that's what I want, preferably a whole car park with hashed markings around the spaces so people can't damage my car with their doors even if they try. That's why I'd rather park a bit further away. To be fair some supermarkets have done a good job lately, with spaces marked with double lines to persuade people to park just a few inches towards where they should be, and not a foot from the car next to them.

To be fair, on the YPLAC website there are a couple pictures where there is a space thats hashed on one side and not on the other (so only one car to park next to) and people submit people who have edged onto hashed lines.. That's unfair imo, id rather edge onto hashed lines to give my car some room from @-holes who can't park...

Oh no! How will the world cope with the loss of another Limited Edition Corsa! :laugh:

If they keep getting smashed up at this rate then soon they WILL be limited edition 😄

Expensive accident!

Expensive mistake buying an Audi in the first place.

Overated POS.

Surely the driver didn't get out of that? 

How do you even manage it though?  Presumably Audi now fit low rolling resistance tyres to be eco-friendly... :rolleyes:

He was fine IIRC, happened in about November time, this car was literally brand new and on its first test drive I think! 

Dropping like flies, (courtesy of Instagram, I just out them in a collage) :tongue:

And then poison all our children with their filthy TDIs...:rolleyes:

I have noticed that quite a few 65 plate VWs Audis etc have been TSIs, maybe the scandal has deterred some from diesel?

Found a few more "interesting" German cars,

Not a fan of the Porsche 4x4's, not sure who would be a fan of this though...
