DerbyTup   10 #3 Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Are they making the parking spaces even narrower so they can get more cars in?   What a disastrous design that place is. Constructed of High Alumina Cement initially and designed to maximise the number of parking spaces possible, without due regard for how people might actually get in and out of their car when parked.  A few years ago my dearest took my car and parked up in there. Someone came and parked really close on the drivers side, so close that she couldn't get back in. On the other side, there was a wall. There was a slightly bigger gap, but again not big enough to get in. I had to lower the passenger side window and get my other half to lean through, let the handbrake off and put it into neutral, whilst I stood behind the car and let it gently roll out of the parking space. Lucky we were on a slight slope! As the car started to emerge and pick up traction she had to dive back in through the window and yank the handbrake on.  Quite a dangerous manoeuvre! It was manageable with the sporty little number I had back then, but I'm not sure I'd fancy doing it with my Land Rover!  Edited November 13, 2019 by DerbyTup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

He drives a Land Rover if you didn’t catch the point of that story by the way. Edited November 13, 2019 by makapaka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Big mistake.  Expect a full specification update of his Land Rover anytime soon. Probably starting with the general dimensions leading to full run-down of add-on's he paid dealer for.
