The parking on my road *is* on the pavement, as in, if you parked next to the pavement your car would be towed. The little white box lines are half on and half off the pavement.pblakeney said:
I've got a solution for this. Try pushing a wheelchair along a pavement for understanding. Yes, drivers can park and walk.rick_chasey said:A real advantage of a cheap car, especially when you park it on the pavement is when people inevitably knock things off it doesn't cost the earth.
After a while you stop being so prissy about scratches and whatnot, which is very liberating.

My cars are quite green. I've been known to allow lichen and moss to grow on them.0 -

I cannot get over the production supercharged Kawasaki H2R, 310BHP!
310!

three hundred and ten!
THREE HUNDRED AND TEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thant's just proper another planet (with strange creatures n things) bonkers.
a gazillion miles an hour, enough power to melt your brain forever, ride rings around everything with four wheels no matter what the price and you can still park it in your front room.

This is electric and has 150bhp equivalent. EV's do really interest me, just the simplicity of an electric motor, no gears required and regen braking.0 -

Pavement? What's that??
Would be quite nice if they would widen my road, but given it's 2.5m from my front door to my neighbour's (I kid you not), someone would be homeless if they did.0 -

Ah, so we are back to the pavement being too narrow to allow for parking and why cars get damaged. #easysolutionrick_chasey said:

It is like this for all the streets around with the exception of the high street which does not have street parking for obvious reasons (it being a high street)
It's a better look being a smartarse when you know what you're talking about.0 -

It makes me laugh when The Telegraph (and others) reference the war on cars. I've seen no evidence that they are losing the battle. There are very few town scenes where they aren't front and centre. Whilst I sometimes grumble if I have to park a few hundred metres from my house, it's nice living in a street where cars are nowhere to be seen.0 -

However, it comes at a price: over-square high compression leads to short engine life.

My Citroen Picasso was great for this. Kids, bikes, allotment shit all easily catered for. Rear seats easily removed giving a great loading space in a relatively compact car. My Mondeo is 50cm longer but has the same loadspace.seanoconn said:Don’t really understand the appeal of SUV’s. Pointlessly big and heavy without being particularly roomy inside. Why waste petrol/diesel/battery on extra weight you don’t need.
My MPV (yes that’s still a thing) is perfect. Ugly as hell, 0-60 in about 13 seconds, boring to drive but is extremely comfortable, great view of the road and will do 60mpg with adults, several kids and a bunch of cr@p in the back.0 -

Question - if you buy a house or a flat without parking, is it reasonable to decide to have a car and expect to be able to park close to the property?0

There is parking. As discussed. In front of the house.pblakeney said:

You said the pavement wasn't wide enough to accommodate the road being widened.
It clearly is. The council is too cheap to do the job properly. As I said earlier.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

It clearly is. The council is too cheap to do the job properly. As I said earlier.
If you want people to use both sides of the pavement, including people in prams and wheelchairs, then there isn't.
You're just being difficult for difficult sake now, as you're dug in.0 -
I thought this thread would be fun? Now it's all pavement, Councils and cheapness.0

In that case, no I'm not just being difficult. Priority should be people, moving cars, parked cars. If one (or more) has to go, then tough.rick_chasey said:

Most fun you can have on a track, beyond a fast go-kart is a radical racer, which I've driven a few times.
Doesn't need to be expensive.
Ars* inches from the ground, 0-60mph in under 3 seconds. no fancy gizmos, light as anything. Not too wide so you can have some wheel to wheel action.
Supercars are like glorified swiss watches.0 -
If nobody has any objections?
