This project took him 2 years, was carried out in a Skoda and required excessive over planning possibly including some IT skills.
He's the full STW package* and I salute that.
So who was it?

*I am unsure at this time if he has a log burner.
We were talking about this earlier. Whoever it is, what a legend he is!
Not me, my Octavia is red.

I'm sorry but that's just not adequate.
If you wish to be formally excluded, we'll need a pic of the car with a mobile in view opened on your STW profile page.
I'll then submit it to the relevant committee that has yet to be formally announced, or even know the committee exits for that matter.
i live in devizes BUT i don't have any form of motorized transport.
this is pretty exciting for devizes tbh 😀

Lol, that made me chuckle.

Ooh me too. Note; Octy in clip is not a VRs, so may not be a big hitter of the forum and may take more time to find.
His second name was "Wild" possibly the highlight of the story for me. I do have questions though, is he disabled and able to park in those spots or were they excluded?
Tip top spot - secondary highlight
If I don't see this on the (other) Dull Mens forum later I will be disappointed!
God-tier spot 🤣
My 'ultimate' spot is the opposite of this:
* far from the entrance - always quiet, far enough away it's rarely used by anyone else
* backs onto walkway directly to shop entrance - no dodging cars while wrestling a reluctant overloaded trolley
* an end space that's wider-than-normal space - less risk of door dings
* position makes it unlikely for anyone to reverse/drive into my car
* near a trolley park so not far to return the trolley
Is it just me?
Is it just me?
Possibly just you.
I married a blue badge holder, just need to remember to take her shopping with me.
Did he include the parent and child spaces? Monster.
Otherwise, very impressive. 👏
@A11y - no pretty much describes my standard spot in the big tesco, for everything else I use Waitrose home delivery these days.
Same with me @A11y, sorry. However, the others in the car always complain and think I'm a bit mad.
I'm always amazed at how I can be the furthest away with no cars around when I go in and when I get out, someone has parked.right next to me...the bit that amazes me is how wound up I get about it!
Discussing this in the office earlier.
Surely the goal is to use the same parking spot every time you go (+/- 1 space) !
How else do you find your generic dirty/grey slightly battered family wagon amongst a sea of generic dirty/grey slightly battered family wagons?

That'll be a11y's car.

* near a trolley park so not far to return the trolley
Noooooooo!!!! Never park near a trolley bay. There is always one guy (and yes, its always a guy) who will try and "send" his trolley from a distance and get it to slot perfectly into the awaiting trolley stack. He is often a maverick who has little understanding of his own abilities. This is a trolley ding waiting to happen.

Near, not next to - I'm not as daft as I look 😀
Won't be @A11y, I suspect he has fancier shopping places to go than me.
@richardkennerley, I've no issues with that...he obviously thinks the same way - park far enough away and people won't be wanting to park next to me so won't bash my car...except the herding gene is very strong in some people and they see a single car and seem compelled to start a following!
@DickBarton, ain't no Waitrose in my life. Remember, folk in my town gather twice weekly to shout at hotels...

🤣🤣🤣Not a chance in Chippenham, you’re lucky sometimes if you can even use the same car park!
Well it's not me, I have a Passat and shop at Waitrose.
But applying some geekery (well looking at Google Maps) I have determined that his favourite supermarket is Sainsbury's.
Stalker is gonna stalk
Well that’s a great plan for the work car park.
i try and mix it up any way. When asked why i always say “I’m not going to made a snipers job easy”
FYI mine is a Tepee Partner so basically a Berlingo
