A pavement parking odyssey

And WTF is that mis-spaced numberplate supposed to signify?

I thought it was just a badly made plate, however it looks like they’re trying, and falling, to spell ELITE P.
Vanity plates are bad enough but these contortions are comical.

Two more blockheads for the wall of shame.
First one has a car park literally 5 metres to his left.
The second one is a Tesco cripple, there's a car park 20 metres behind him, but a zebra crossing zig zag will do just as well.

First one looks like he's got his hazards on though, so it's perfectly acceptable. 😂

And hopefully nobody pushing a buggy will feel the need to squeeze through the gap between the car and the fence ...

I would, even though I haven't got a buggy, and my dog could just squeeze through there on her long chain as well.

And I might have to take the long route to the allotment with my wheelbarrow.

Ah, the Range Rover Sport in its natural environment!

Thank you! Reported. 👍

You'd think if you were driving an untaxed car, you'd rather not draw attention to yourself wouldn't you?
It takes a special kind of tiny wienered dunderhead to drive a white RR Sport.

They want to show off their supposed wealth but don’t have the money to run it. I wonder if they’ve bothered insuring it.

Correct. No policy held on this vehicle.

I’ve just being looking up the running costs for that thing. It does a combined avg of 17.59mpg! With its 80L tank, that’s a range of only ~300 miles and costs about £144 to fill. VED is £630 p.a. 😂

Honestly, what is the point of these? (And don’t say ‘off-roading’, because the footpath is about as far off road as they get.)

I’m surprised they got it up there without damaging the skinny tyres and rims.

Me too. Drivers of those things are famous for having difficulty getting it up.
