Scottish Elises

Just got a call from a mate who has just started a new job in Dunfermline, he lives in Arbroath an has been meeting a woman at ToysRus in Dundee (next to the big Tesco/Halfrauds) who gives him a lift the rest of the way. So he's been leaving his Blue S1 111s in the ToysRus car park. After just the 3rd day he came back to find someone had smashed into the back of his car, it had then mounted the kerb and into a lamp post writing off the front clam as well! Of course the scum didn't leave any details and the muppets on the cameras says they leave them pointed at the shops front doors all day looking for shop lifters.

The morale of the story... if you do have to park at ToysRus / Tesco etc, park near the door, ideally in the mother an baby spaces

At the risk of sounding sexist, don't park anywhere that there may be mothers driving 4X4s or MPVs. My dear old mother managed to take out a trolly park in tescos with her freelander, and barely noticed! Top tip, park your lotus in the foyer, with a barrier around it, make it look like an exhibit.

Yes gently leaking on the floor and covered in sticky fingerprints and saliva when you get back

Steve Banks?
Assuming it is since I don't know of anyone else in Abroath with a blue 111s so

To be fair, given the number of soft-roaders driven by people who can't reverse or see out of them it could happen just about anywhere.

Lets face it the Elise is level with the window line of normal cars, there is not a hope in hell that 4X4 driver will see over that huge spare wheel even if they could be bothered too.

He said he'd parked way at the back of the car park away from everyone. ToysRus is next to ChavFriendly Halfrauds tho!

I've been driven into 3 times in the last year by 3 different women. Not sexist, just fact! But they all get cheaper car insurance than us! But somehow that's not sexist!??

I'm now in danger of starting a rant... must resist.. . What gets me is this sexual equality thing; its gone too far! There are now insurance companies specializing for women. There are no blokes only insurance firms. Not fair! Women have 'Diamond Insurance'. We should get 'Diamond Geezer - inurance'.

It's only a matter of time & photoshop

i saw the car parked miles away from all other cars for the last few days.
it was down near the tesco petrol station.

someone must have done it on purpose, coz really it was rows and rows away from other cars!!!

It doesn't matter how far away from other cars you park, some twat always seems to park next to you, usually in a big 4x4 or a transit van
