Bad Parking Pictures

I won't say I'm getting old, but twice now I almost took pictures to post here. At the last moment I fortunately realised it is my own car I'm looking at :p
I did have to look carefully at the number plate on that Fortuner pic.

Parked within the lines but how do you leave the front sticking out so far.
 
So, today I found out that it is not always the driver's fault, and you call BMW drivers obnoxious ......I found today with my BM, it is a trait of the car.....wasn't me.

Entering a parking area, the car soon alerted me to available space, so I press the button activating the process.

So, it was a double open space. The car parked itself like the one in the picture.

Of course I rectified 😇

Park like a po3s; find out...

The arrogant arsewipes parked the oke in, he must juts claimed that he feared for his life. Hopefully fatty learned his lesson. In the Southern Suburbs these people don't care how they park, if you can't get out it's your own problem.

Small bakkie gives Golf GTI a hammering in viral parking rage incident

A black Volkswagen Golf 5 GTI was significantly damaged in a parking lot altercation that took place at an Engen garage over the weekend.

Footage, which went viral on social media platforms on Sunday night, shows the driver of an Ashok Leyland Dost repeatedly reversing into the Golf, whose occupants had boxed the small bakkie in, before making a hasty escape.

While the initial altercation was not caught on film, footage shows occupants from the Golf running towards the bakkie, before retreating as the bakkie starts reversing into the car. After reversing into the Golf three times, the bakkie driver makes a hasty escape, while men on the scene make another attempt at assaulting him through the window.

The incident, which appears to have taken place at an Engen garage in Woodmead, Johannesburg, is reportedly under investigation, although the South African Police Service has yet to release an official statement on the matter.

The incident created a social media frenzy, and many sided with the bakkie driver, who had been "unfairly" parked in by the Golf, and some viewed the small bakkie’s antics as a “David and Goliath” scenario.

The Ashok Leyland Dost is South Africa's cheapest bakkie, with prices currently starting at R179,900.

 
Ashok Leyland Dost: The ‘GTI Killing’ bakkie that broke the internet

The much-publicised parking lot rage incident that took place over the weekend must certainly have been a traumatic ordeal for the occupants of the bakkie that escaped, and a bruised ego scenario for the driver of the Volkswagen Golf 5 GTI that was repeatedly reversed into.

However, Mzansi likes to see the lighter side of most things, and it was no surprise that social media lit up early this week with memes showing a victorious Ashok Leyland Dost and a bruised Golf GTI.

From Tekken game throwbacks to a Golf in a hospital bed, the memes came in thick and fast.

But what is this little bakkie that everyone is talking about?

The Ashok Leyland Dost, a product of India, was launched in South Africa in late 2023 and is currently the cheapest bakkie product on sale locally.

The vehicle is priced at R179,000, which buys you either a drop side or fixed side deck, and the company also offers a more modern-looking product called the Phoenix, at R279,900. Interestingly, the Dost is cheaper than it was at launch, when it listed from R229,999 to R254,999.

The Ashok Leyland Dosk is sold with a warranty that covers its owners for five-years or 150,000km, although minor scratches caused by altercations with GTIs in parking lots are still for the owner’s account.

The Ashok Leyland Dost has a payload of 1,250kg - meaning you could almost put the Golf GTI on the back once the demolition derby is over.

However, with power coming from a 1.5-litre, three-cylinder engine that produces an earth-shattering 44kW and 159Nm, it might be slightly slower than a GTI in a robot-to-robot race; and by slower, we mean you’d probably need a calendar to measure its 0-100km/h sprint time.
