Default Bristol Airport Car park service????????????

For all you people that fly from Bristol Airport. DO NOT leave you car at this airport. When I was dropping Andy off, we park up for him to disconnect all his gear and the parking staff were scumming the car hitting the rev limiting in every gear and doing handbrake turns behind us .

So, not recommended to leave your car there

Scumming is a polite way of saying screwing.

Every car that came past us was hitting the rev limiter, wheel spinning and yanking the handbrake up to see how far they could get the back end round

Park it. Lock it. (wrap in bubble wrap - optional ) Leave it. Come back to it. And tell them not to wash it! If you have a Tracker expect it not to start by calling Subaru Assistance on landing before clearing customs.

Was that the one where they ended up parking them in an unlit compound on an industrial estate miles away from anywhere?

I'd get someone to give me a lift to the airport.

Theres a pub about half a mile away, that has large fields/car parks and charge a fee to leave your car there - left mine there once and it was fine. Friends always use it, with no probs.
