TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Not digging, I just genuinely have no liking for the pointless showing off type of vehicle that you need two spaces to park, drink fuel like it is going out of fashion and the rest of the world look at you and laugh.

Mine does not take up two car parking spaces, that's just exaggerating, it does not drink much more than the GLE that I had previously and I don't buy cars to get appreciation from other people. In fact I don't give a flying fig what other people think about my choice of car. I now think that you are a troll trying to wind me up.

Is it an opinion when you say a Range Rover takes two spaces to park? It is nonsense to ...... well I don't know why you said it, only you can say why 🤔 I took two pictures of my FF parked in Asda car park this morning and it only takes up one space, not two. Here is the evidence below. Not opinion, it is fact. I can accept opinions but not made up nonsense 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 Nicely parked, shame some of the others are not so thoughtful. I will now photograph all the badly parked ones I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, it is nicely parked, but fills the whole space before the doors are opened, hence it 'needs' two spaces. I had an X5 for a while and getting in when in a standard parking space with 'family sized cars' either side was a problem - and I'm a relatively small person (11 stone). It was one of the biggest 'snags' with the X5 - and that is quite a bit smaller than the current RR. More than once I had to climb across from the passenger side. Certainly around here you are lucky to find a space at times, let alone a space with empty spaces each side. I agree the spaces are much too small - but that isn't going to change.

The quote from "tightchoke" was "you need two spaces to park" I doubt any smaller car could open all four doors in a standard car parking space. 26 minutes ago, old'un said: you might like this link then https://www.change.org/p/ban-4x4s-and-other-heavy-cars-from-urban-centres/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I agree, but the big cars I have had (BMW X5, Daimler Double Six, Mercedes G-wagen) have always been a real pain in car parks - and smaller cars so much easier. I agree out on big open roads/open off road they come into their own, but where space is tight it is just a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 As is often stated on the Sales Forum, "If only you were closer" We could park two cars in a supermarket car park with one space in between and you could park your Range Rover between them and climb out of the rear tailgate!
