Fish sandwich deterred one family though not another. Am now sharing my table though mums very easy on the eye so all is good.

Currently speeding through the landscape

[comfortablynumb]

Nah, I reckon it's @BeEP😁

If that's the case, good luck with trains round here 🤦

[Rustybullethole]

You got it @comfortablynumb

Fine Italian Automotive Transport 

Pleasure to meet you @BeEP and thanks for the tea and tour of the collection.

Am about 20 miles in and all is well thus far.

Just dumped it in the sparky bay as busting for a  wazz. 

Which incidentally was exactly the same colour.

If you’re going to park inappropriately then you should have gone for the disabled bays as they are right next to the door.

Thats a line i won't cross. happy to leave it one of the many empty lecky ones for a short while though. 

Seems a great little thing. Geared nice for the open road, old leg friendly seating position and turns on a sixpence. Plus yellow.

Great cars, and a great seller. Enjoy! You’ll get 45mpg round town easy, and they’re a great square shape for stuff hauling. Top choice for a young driver too - no idea why more driving schools didn’t use them.

Its still a dick move to park in the charging bays.

[cpjitservices]

That looks similar to what Dicky owns, I cant remember his name on here!

Why?

There’s a sign that says that bay is for EV charging only, it’s a perfectly valid reason not to park a Panda there. Yet RBH thinks that rule doesn’t apply to him and he’ll quite happily inconvenience other people.

The grumpy thread is full of members of this forum moaning about the inconsiderate behaviour of others.

Because you're  a serial whinger that likes jumping down people's throats at the slightest provocation. That's why.

Wow, you've really convinced me with that logical and reasoned argument that he was right to park his combustion car in the EV charging bay!

[Rustybullethole]

For the record it is a fair to say that I can be a bit of a dick. For a start id be happy to tell anyone who felt inconvenienced by a Panda in one of the many empty charging bays for 2 mins tops whilst i have a quick piss to go fuck themselves.

I would also add that as a far more environmentally friendly option than buying a new ev it should really have its own elite parking section too. I mean it runs solely on bamboo after all*

Home safe

Mrs and youngest been out for a drive and have been won over by its charms. Its a good day.

I really want one in fairness. I've driven a couple that were customers cars and they were just like the Unos I cut my teeth on. No use for one though and it's one in one out at ours. Eldest is perilously close to 17 though and loves 500s so I get one in the end in a way 🤣

Yeah, the other guy claimed it was two minutes when challenged...

Really surprised you didnt park it across your neighbours' driveway when you got home.

[Rustybullethole]

Its does the small car thing very well with the design making the most of the available space. 

What i wasn't expecting was it feeding back to me that it would happily sit at motorway speed* all day long. 

Massive highlight of the day was seeing @BeEP collection of fine conveyances. The man epitomises the autoshite I first knew.

Thanks for your input. Hope you feel better soon.

Top bombing @Rustybullethole!  I've not heard anyone really gripe about these Pandas, they are good 'bombing around the city' material, good 'first car' material, impressive load space and family friendly to boot. 

I think all collection threads should have a parking in a pez/derv car in a charging bay photo now, it's proved itself as as vital as the poo count, the Woollard and the pez shot, and if it froths people up then all the better 😜

Many thanks for the offer of the ex-petri dish Clio, I'm at N+1 cars already, so I'll decline, unless it's getting weighed in.

No pervy pics???? 

 

[comfortablynumb]

Following on from @CaptainBoom's suggestion, probably needs something a bit bigger than a panda, but park diagonally across 2 bays? That way you can get in the'Parking' thread too.....😜

[lesapandre]

The Yellow Peril...

Small cars really seem to annoy some  people 😂

Looks great. Super little cars. Real classics. Great buy 👌

How is it any different to an ICE car parked blocking a fuel pump while the owner buggers off to go and do a load of shopping in the tesco express attached to a fuel station.

Or indeed the times I've seen an EV parked blocking a fuel pump while they go into a petrol station shop.

Hint:  It isn't.

TBH I think it's utterly wrong that EVs get dedicated parking that is generally in a very convenient location.  If you can only park in one place, it should be completely the other side of the car park.  after all, you're not parking, you're charging.  The fact that it happens to be in a parking-shaped spot is not relevant.

Go haead, post some pictures and prove me wrong.

You've made it sound like a frequent occurence, you must have photographed it.

Or, better yet, sell the pictures to the media. I'm sure the Daily Mail would give you a few pounds.
