That's the first thing I noticed. :thumbsup: I park the same way when possible.

I park like that too. It looks like he is REALLY close to that wall, wonder if he had to crawl out the boot or the passenger side?

Hey Taylor, that was a really nice GP we saw that day! Welcome to NAM!

I park like that too, I try to park on the edge spots and park as close to the side as possible, or usually i'll park by another MINI if the spot looks safe!

ghosthound 11-19-2007 08:49 PM

that is hilarious how they parked sooooo close to the wall....

Imitation is the best form of flattery!
 
Great minds think alike:wink: (when it comes to license plate frames)
But at least i can say i got my frame before this guy (jan '05):nod:

Alpha motoring back me up!:lol:

Me too :lol: - I used to come into work between 9:30 and 10 - now i get up at 6:30am so i can be here by atleast 7:30 and find that parking spot on the side :grin:

MINIxB 11-20-2007 08:55 AM

How do you get out of the car when it's so close to the wall?

Hop over to the passenger side. I did that yesterday :O.

Edit: I am 6'3" and 265lbs and i had no difficulty doing that. Spacious indeed :)

OctaneGuy 11-20-2007 10:46 AM

Haha you should have parked right next to him in the space he left open. :lol:

Hello to itstaylor1 and Alpha Motoring,
It is I, Jack, owner of GP 0885 who visited Ikea on this day and parked within an inch of the wall.
BTW, to answer the question, I did have to crawl out the passenger side... I am 6'4" and 180 pounds, just lift the steering wheel and you can get out on passenger side with ease...
If its any consolation to you tshubin, your plate is the first one I have seen with that quote. I made mine after watching the Austin Powers flick with the MINI..

Great thread, great pics, beautiful GP... but I'm now moving this thread to the GP forum where it rightly deserves to be. :thumbsup:

I think we (me and my girlfriend) saw you traveling northbound on Oak Knoll in San Marino about a week ago, was it you? we were in her mini.
