chardonnay   10 #158 Posted January 22, 2015 Think they already do this but yes a valeted service while shopping would kill two birds with one stone.  I love the valet service at some shopping centres, not only because you don't have to drive around looking for a space, you just drop it at the area and they take care of it. How nice is it to come back from a shopping trip to a gleaming, fresh smelling car.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
rossyrooney   12 #159 Posted January 22, 2015 Because none of them know the highway code? ---------- Post added 21-01-2015 at 08:13 ----------   Again back to the question of what is prestige...  I saw an Audi R8 in Hillsborough on the way home... Is that prestige? Or just sporty and a bit expensive.  Forklift drivers are instructed to reverse into the road because of the forks protruding into oncoming traffic if they drive out forwards.  Just thought I'd throw that in.

SportsTrophy   10 #162 Posted January 22, 2015 All car parking spaces should be larger. I vote with my feet if the space isn't big enough for my convenience I don't go there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
