R27 and parallel parking.

[trailerparktrev]

Me + new car + recaros (obscuring rear view) = s**t at parallel parking.

Which isn't ideal when your bird lives in two up two down land in Southsea, where parking is a nightmare.

If you were in the 182 with the private plate at the junction of Valder Av, Milton Road - then yep that was me.

[Phill1978]

dnt talk to me about parking with recaros and big rear arches

 

[trailerparktrev]

What i find funny is that the owner of the LY R27, with the parking sensors fitted, still managed to scuff up the rear bumper!

See below:

ah quality! Yer i was at portsmouth business school, finished now not gone far thou work for VT in the shipyards as a project manager. So dont see many nice cars now other than a few really nice cars.

how are you finding the change, other than the awkward parallel parking?

 

[trailerparktrev]

I would like to inform everyone that my parking is getting better. Thank you.

 

[daydotz]

then again i wouldnt like to park mine without them

 

[Turkish]

If you can't park a clio sized car you really need to re take your driving test. Any of you lot related to Tyrone off of Snatch?

fpmsl :approve:

 

[trailerparktrev]

Thing is it's not a clio sized car anymore..

 

[Turkish]

There's always one...

So a clio is not clio sized? Contraditcion in terms surely? It may not be the same as an old clio but IT IS clio sized by definition. Either way it's hardly a large car, try driving a VW transporter, sprinter van, or transit for a few weeks (one with loadspace bulkhead/no rear windows) and then tell me a clio is difficult to park.

It is still only a small hatchback though!

 

[GM_182]

I found the recaros I bit of a pain with parking and pulling out onto the motorway from a slip road.
