So I've just been down to my local. Tuesday night isn't a busy night so the car park was pretty empty. There was only one car there when I parked up so I parked behind it...usually the safest place. When I came out somebody had parked a fiesta right behind me. Why!!?? They could have parked anywhere else and they choose there!!!! It wasn't even a space!!!!

The same seems to happen wherever I go. I usually park as far away from everyone as possible but people are still mystically compelled to park next to me!!!

Leave my E60 alone.

OK, rant over. By the way I just managed to get the car out...

Arn't you supposed to park next to the nicest car so the crooks are more likely to take that 1st?
