you should have just stuck it in your back pocket while you did your shopping.

LOL Nice one Salsa

You just want to make sure that the cars surrounding you have a good turning circle or you will need a new wing

Borderline though hey? PC Jobsworth may well have had something to say about the bumper line jutting out.

The yellow one in the first picture looks illegal and quite dangerous to be honest, especially for cyclists etc.

Fair play to you but remember, nobody likes a Smart árse.

I saw someone do the same as this in Portugal a few years ago when I was working there, but in a Renault Clio. Half on the road and half on the pavement, and no one though it was unusual. Everyone was happy to just walk around it. It would interesting to see what grief the driver would be given if he tried that over here.

If I finally get a 126, then I plan to do this (space permitting lol!)

It is 3100mm long compared to 2500 though... Those 60cm mean a lot!

I have the width advantage though.... Tighter spaces?! 1377mm compared to 1515.
