It is annoying when you are trying to find a space in a busy car park and someone has used two spaces. Perhaps you should have considered this when parking and then you wouldn't have got the fine. I can understand your desire to protect your car, but presumably you've learnt your lesson and won't do it again

However, that doesn't mean you have to pay a fine if you believe that the council doesn't have the legal right to issue one, which is the point made by corradoboy and hedgehog. As two wrongs don't make a right, I believe it would not be hypocritical of you to fight it

I'd say the council's unnecessary and selfish fine is in response to your unnecessary and selfish parking. Seems reasonable

my classic is 6 years old and has a big fat zero in the parking digs department, perhaps Germans are more considerate then the brits.

When did I say it was busy, was plenty of other spaces avaliable, was only there for about half an hour, plenty of spaces when I got back. Therefor I do not believe I was being inconsiderate to other users.

And OllyK if you went to a restaurant and all the tables were so close together that the guy next to you nudged and bumped you everytime he moved would you not ask the waitor to spread the tables out and give you more room, or maybe move you to a bigger table?? Would you expect him to then add a large service charge to the bill???

If I went to a restaurant and everybody else was managing to use just 1 table and I demanded that I be given 2 tables, then yes I'd expect to pay a big fat service charge for it.

If you're that worried about the car, leave it somewhere safe and use another form of transport.
