CG could have the first dodgem Freelander. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

stick that on and there is no need for a respray  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

Maybe they do them in Chrome

I bought a cheap car on ebay for the supermarket shopping. I could not bear the thought my Freelander being damaged by an old Cavalier or Escort. If you were to carry out a scientific study, my bet is that the old bangers are always parked next to Freelanders!

I've always thought that the supermarkets should provide extra wide spaces at the far end of the car park for wider vehicles, I wouldn't mind the extra walk for the added peace of mind

I don't think its the wider vehicles that is the problem it's poor drivers and people that don't give a f about other peoples property. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

This will always be a problem in out of town shopping areas.

Got a pal who used to work for B & Q and whose car was always getting damaged as B & Q do not provide staff car parking. He solved the problem by parking in a remote corner of the car park adjacent to one of their large planter troughs which divide the car park bays and parking diagonally across two bays. Job Done

I now do the same, selfish I know but protecting my hard earned vehicle from shopping trollies and £200.00 banger owners who do not give a S**t.

Get a kid; then you can park in the ultra wide parent a child places. Sorted! Only problem is that they cost even more to keep than repairing damage on the car

Nice one Bill A fellow 2 bay parker.

It does have it's own risks-A pal of mine got a £30 ticket for taking 2 bays at showcase cinema even though it's free-parking and he was at the edge of the car park and it was only 1/4 full.

I don't have kids but I always use a parent and child bay in booths carpark, (the normal space's are extra tiny and there are loads of 4x4s parked and old dears swinging their yaris doors open)) some cheeky cow in a clio with 2 kids about 7 and 8 told me I was a selfish person (like I didn't already know ) I pointed out that the bays are not a perk of havin kids but to allow mothers with pushchairs and prams extra room to maneuver so in fact she was a selfish person too

P.S. Has anyone ever actually put on a limp after parking in a disabled bay??

The disabled parking bays are normally too close to the shop entrance (here), and the possibility of getting a scrape is even higher as everybody is pushing their shoppers past that parking bay
I normally park as far away from the entrance as possible and have even started shopping at "those shops" when they are just opening and most other dudes are still eating their breakfast. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
