Ok I am sure I am not the only one that does this:
In my Mini, I park as far forward as I can, and next to the biggest cars i can find!, and then ya watch the people try and pull in to your park because they think it is empty...funny stuff!
Maybe I am just strange!

Ahh what?s life without a laugh :D

:shock: NO NO NO NO NO!!! :shock:

My personal parking technique is to park with my nose in line with the cars either side of me. This lowers the chance of somebody touch-parking the back and also eliminates the possibility of someone screaming into the park from the front because they think that there's no car there and leaving a nice big ding in your poor Mini...

My thoughts, not gospel. :)

Still funny though, like putting your shopping in your car and a car indicates to pull in, and then you go back into the shop. They hate it :D

Same here I've seen too many people fly into what they think is an empty space only to have to pull up quickly because theres a small car there that they couldn't see.

I do it at Russell Offices to piss the pricks orff that park in defence car parks then get a bus to the city( tight arse civilian bastards!!! - PRESENT COMPANY EXCLUDED OF COURSE!!)

Another trick i like doing is walking through car parks and slowing next to a car....wait for the dills to pull up and walk off. Or i go on a bijou stroll around the Canberra centre multi level park for shits and giggles. Had 4 cars follow me one day...lmao.

Childish - YES

Fun - crap yeah!!

Hooroo

poeee parks in as far as he can get. He LOVES pissing off people who drive big cars, as they tend to harass us on the road. (they started it!)

nah i think two is the max. i nosed in as far as possible like usual and he reversed in behind me. i think both front ends were just outside the lines and you would have been lucky to have 10cm between back bumpers. a picture would have been great to get. i challenge someone to fit more more than three into one spot!
