Parking like your Momma

[Kateysan]

Have any other Fiesta drivers noticed that some people seem to think that just because your Fiesta is a small car they can park up closer to you than a Wilkinson sword shave? 😡

Twice in the last month or so!! Strongly worded notes were written I can tell you.

I did notice this when I owned a MK7 luckily enough I had a driveway at the time but when I was out and about my godness people thought it was a shoe box sized object, I don't have a problem with my Focus though if anything they leave a massive gap.

I wouldn't say its just your Fiesta.  Whenever I am in Dublin I see cars parked this close to each other the whole time, could be a Dub in front of ya ha? .

For sure. There will be a whole line of bigger cars, all with reasonable spaces left in between and WHAM! My little Fiesta boxed in. Even when a more reasonable space is left, it's still tight.

Not just small cars! Back in the early 2000's we had a Mazda park up against our 3 month old Xsara and their front end was pushed under our bumper, took photo's, then drove back out the way, our number plate then fell on floor   I went from shop to shop asking around anyone know of the Mazda, after an hour of searching I got no where, phoned the cops and they wasn't interested one bit and told me to take it through the insurance  

Looked at our car more closely there was deep scuffs into the paintwork in my fury I keyed the bonnet of offending Mazda with a big W! Wife went mad at me and said I shouldn't have done that, yes I shouldn't have but the Mazda owner didn't give a damn and I didn't give a damn too, we got in the car and drove off.

Take a look at this. I had an anounce call over tannoy for owner to come forward .20 mins later he came out .i was furious .he said it must be electric park brake failing . Look how much over he was plus its a vauxhall.Also he was head of security for company. Luckilly no damage was done.

OMG!!!   I know how MAD you felt when that happened, bet you felt like head butting the cretin ....''Park assist my fat arrse'' 

Have you looked REALLY CAREFULLY to see if the paint is cracked ? Only be apparent in direct sunlight and would look like fine cob-web lines.
