Parking Wars by carlisletiger on Wed Dec 04, 2013 6:01 pm
left work at 6am and found out that the new fitter has decided to start a game of parking wars. I have since informed him that if he wants to put his rear bumper against my front bumper i will repay the favour ,the fact that by the time my rear bumper touches his front bumper my towbar will have gone through his radiator is totally irrelevant. He said he didnt touch my car but the pics prove otherwise. I'm waitingg for the chance to reverse up to his car and place my towbar gently against his bumper,select 4wd ,leave it in gear and apply the handbrake :x plastic astra vs 2 tonnes of 4wd truck - only gonna be one winner :D

I've got a similar issue with my neighbor, same problems. Needless too say we don't get exactly get a long, It all started with him complaining too the council about my scissor jack always having a car on it whilst up peeking over his little hedge.

If your gonna play by his rules just be cautious he doesn't get the law involved.

Happy Parking :x

Legally your allowed to move cars without the owners permission as long as no damage is incurred. So borrow a mates towing eye hook it up and move it so that he is in a comprising position. For example just over some double yellows. Double check that law incase it's changed since we last asked the local plod (a few years ago)

Better not move out here then. Parking is achieved by one of two methods:
1) Drive somewhere near the side of the road. A single wheel is sufficient, and you don't need to worry about the back of the vehicle being stuck out, it's all good!
2) Find a space, drive into it. Doesn't matter if it's too small, or if you need to hit both the front and back car multiple times in order to make the space big enough for your motor. It's all good!

It's great fun watching the faces of newcomers who are not yet initiated into rural Spanish living getting their shiny new car reversed into!
