Agreed, but I prefer the walk from a quite part of the car park. Our doors will get a ding sometime, here in the UK they make the spaces smaller than the US (and are always trying to make them smaller still).

Was looking for a news article about a carpark that reduced the size of the spaces to increase capacity but got it so wrong that even drivers of small cars couldn't get out of the doors...did find postings about people parking over two spaces, something I have noticed recently. One poster said he did this but bought two car park tickets! I do occasionally park on two spaces in the "outfield" if the car parks quite, drives the wife mad, but I have noticed the even if there are twenty spaced to each side some people feel the need to park in the bay next to you.?

Wonder is a XF would get ticketed like the Acura in the link or would they allow some slack cos the car looks so much better than an Acura?
