Parking space widths

[Sundayjumper]

Yeah I echo this: mine overhung the work parking spaces significantly. I would try and find a corner space in the multistorey so it was less of an issue.

This was something the Boxster was wonderful for, it fitted very easily into parking spaces making it an ideal town car.

I echo this. But substitute with a Galaxie & a MINI

Speaking of which, I took it out for a spin today, and it seems to run fine on the petrol/diesel mix I siphoned out of the old MINI.

Stick a bit of 2 stroke oil in for good measure

This is length rather than girth, but spotted this in Sainsbury’s car park today. I looked as I walked past, that really is the amount of space it needed.

I bet it was all the width as well

It’s not even a Stagea

It’s only foreshadowing what the size of the average family car will be in 15 years time.
I got a hand me down TV from my parents a few months ago, and because of the silly size of the Defender rear door/boot I couldn’t fit it in without snapping the tv in half so my dad said he’ll deliver it when he has time which is coincidently later this evening.

I may update the thread with a suitably silly parking picture later.

NO

When I was looking at cars a couple of months ago there was a 90’s right hand drive Chevy blazer that kept coming up in searches for about £1500 that I had to talk myself out of a couple of times. I just kept telling myself a 4.3l v6 (with a massive 160hp ) and daily driving don’t really go together

NO

Quad cab long bed = 249.7" = 6.34m. Near exactly a metre longer than my Galaxie

Fits like it was made for it

I would be surprised is no answer. I EXPERIENCE all the time the reality.

Of course it's an answer. If you want a more direct one, I call bullshit on them being smaller than the standard. Pics with a tape measure or else it's bobbins.

Is that the rise you were looking for?

I'm going back with a tape measure just for you.

Have you got the tape measure out yet?

Meatloaf.

Sorry, been busy

I will actually do this when I'm next there.

My x5 is 130mm shorter and 30mm narrower than the current m3

Meatloaf.

Bitchtits.

I meant it as a "...but I won't do that" reference. Skippy here isn't going to go out and measure parking spaces to prove himself wrong.

Oh, sorry I wondered if it was a reference to Broccers parking in a dogging spot to find paradise by the dashboard light.

Also more efficient on useable volume than the equivilant estate.

Dave!
