Default Bl00dy saloon drivers

Go to Brighton for the day and park my beautiful 4*4 on the sea front only to return and find the rear bumper scraped by some poxy Mondeo driver that couldn't parallel park behind me.

Obviously we don't want to tar all saloon cars but its about time they learnt how to park and had a bit more respect for other cars as most of the damage to my 4*4 has been caused by saloons.

A propper 4x4 owner wouldn't be bothered about dents and scrapes

Personally I find the most troublesome curlprits for car park dings to be any other car other than mine that frequents a supermarket or shopping centre car park

I think saloons should be banned. One of the most pointless body shapes ever. Longer than a coupe but no load carrying capacity compared to an estate - they take up too much road space. Drivers can't park them properly as they can't judge the length of the boot. And think of all the fuel to carry that unnecessary body shape around!

Maybe it was someone getting revenge for when you pulled out in front of them in your totally oblivious to every other car on the road 4*4 driving style

Sorry to hear about the damage to your car mate. "Little knocks" are excellent for repairing that kind of thing.

Personally I always try and avoid parking the scooby next to the large "soft road" 4x4s as they usually are full of kids (and sometimes adults) who just throw the doors open with no regard for surrounding cars. Saloon drivers who just regard the car as something to be used and abused can be just as bad though, as they think that everyone else regards their own car with similar indifference.

Best.
