decided to put the mini under a much better secluded area that protects the car from the weather alot better, looked at this spot n couldnt help but squeeze it in....

i dont know anybody who thinks reverse parking is useless... its my prefferd type of parking method.
im retarded when it comes to going nose first into a parralel parking space, either im too far away from the curb or i scratch the rims :lol:

hehe one step ahead, under the car cover is flannelette sheets covering the car :lol:

its like a caryard at our place of late, 6 cars! but only enough space for 4 (properly), brother's valiant that he is in the middle of rebuildin takes up lots of space (theres parts next to the mini aswell)

none of the family said anything bad tonight about where it is, probably coz they all know that there is no way in hell i would leave it out in the open! drastic measures to take care of my lil mini! :D

Same here, same here. I can never judge the distance between the car's front lip and those 100mm high concrete blocks. But I can reverse parallel like i was born doing it. 8)

Ditto , I've spent enough time in trucks and construction equip using mirrors that I can do as much backwards as I can forwards , get in a car with poor mirrors and I'm screwed though , can't do it looking over my shoulder ...
