Dumb Parking

If you are seriously, awfully bad at parking you’d better watch out, because Crap-Parking.co.uk has its beady eyes on you.

If you’re a selfish idiot and think you can park where you like and balls to everyone else, then this site is here to expose you. Anyone can park the car a little bit badly, and I expect we’ve all parked a bit further from the kerb than we’d have liked, or strayed an inch into the next space and said to ourselves “That’ll do.”

These selfish muppets, on the other hand have absolutely zero consideration, and presumably a matching amount of shame, as they brazenly park their cars like this:

bad parking on a junction

parked in two spaces

blocked exit dumb parking

So next time you see someone parking in a seriously dumb way, why not take a photo with your mobile and send it in, so at least they can be mercilessly mocked.

smart on its ar*e

This not-so-smart parking warden’s Smart car is equipped with a retractable, 15 foot high spy camera, ready to take pictures of parking offences in the NCP car park.

By the way, this post is the 200th post on the Fluxposure blog. I hope everyone is still enjoying it. Your comments are always welcome, and I’m certainly looking forward to writing the next couple of hundred – if you can bear it.

Ace, smart – it’s our 100th post!

new ac ace - based on smart roadster
Hurrah! It’s our 100th post since we started the blog in April. That’s 86 more posts than confused.com have managed on their aptly named “Confused Blog” since October 05.

Meanwhile, fans of the smart Roadster, which DaimlerChrysler have pulled the plug on, got some good news from a group called Project Kimber. They seem to be well on the way to securing the rights to build restyled roadsters and coupes based on the smart, having now arranged with smart which of their tooling machines they would like to buy.

And they’ve released the first artwork showing what their new car, which they’re selling as an AC Ace (and here’s the original AC Ace, will look like. More here and here.

smart fans might also be interested in the smart squidoo we’ve slung together. Do suggest anything to make it better if you have any ideas.
