I'm having difficulty with judging the width of my new car* and on a number of occasions due to paranoia about scrapping the alloys have ended up parking about a foot from the curb. * turns out an Astra J (mk6) GTC is wider than an omega.

warch Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 On the subject of width restrictors I have been across the Usk at Llangynidr a few times, the bridge isn’t much wider than the 2.1m width limit. Coincidentally my work van is exactly 2.1m wide with the mirrors which fortunately stick out above the parapets. Theres a 6’6” bridge somewhere as well. richardmorris and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round the back of Halfords in Hereford there used to be a rail overbridge with a 6' height restriction and a 6'6" width restriction. I used to work at Shark Motorcycles just by it and had to duck to walk under it. They removed the bridge deck about 10 years ago but the supporting walls are still there. I wouldn't try driving a van bigger than a Berlingo through. https://www.google.com/maps/@52.0668635,-2.7173227,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sjs41iimgleCKru2AR-ZwGQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3Djs41iimgleCKru2AR-ZwGQ%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D108.85986%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192 warch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omegod Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Despite feeling like death with a chest infection I had to ride to the rescue after my daughters friends had let her down for a planned visit to "Horrorcon" in Manchester today, she'd paid to get her picture taken with some Hollywood hottie she loves from the film scream, entry was painfully slow for some reason so so we stood if the fucking cold with 5000 very creatively dressed horror fanatics and got in after 10:00 instead of the advertised 09:00 entry the upshot being she'd missed her slot with said hunk and was resolutely told she would have to wait till 5 pm but as she had to get home and start work at 4 pm. I could see she was really knocked/disappointed due to this so I applied some creative persuasion to the staff and then sweet talked the head lady ( very hot !) which worked and much to her shock she was then ushered to the front of priority line and popped between said hunk and ,as an added bonus, his other hunky co star for a lovely picture. Fuck me this convention game is a racket, she's paid £40 for the single pic but the double and queue jump would have been £150 ! She's been having a tough time lately and ended being over the moon, it felt nice to still be a bit useful to her Remspoor, cort1977, Three Speed and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyarddog Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Looking through my late great Aunt and uncle's old slides I found these two that I got quite excited about. The VW Camper was a faithful servant for many many years,it replaced a split screen version sometime in the early 70's until it was replaced in 1987 by a newer version. I have a lot of happy memories of this old van The Capri belonged to another family members partner,I remember as a small boy of being very impressed by it. Probably both long since gone now. sdkrc, Austat, warch and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
