Yes folks it's here again.
What is?
National Park Like a Joyrider Day.
And without further ado let's crack on.
Our first entrant is from the amateurs. It's a good effort but lacks the finesse of the more experienced, let's take a closer look.
Starting our review at the back. The rear wheel is only just on the pavement, it really could have been quite a bit further over, a nice piece of misalignment though as the front wheel is not also on the pavement. This is an attempt at a style of parallel parking where the parallel is all in the mind, first developed back in the 1970's by getaway drivers from Moss Side. The back end of the car gains a mark due to the neat touch of being over the adjacent junction markings, this shows a vision sadly lacking in many of the amateur entrants.
Moving to the front of the vehicle. This end isn't too shabby either, with the steering pointing into the road and the offside wheel (not visible here) jutting out into on-coming traffic there are some nicely developed threats. I can visualise a cyclist, focusing on the two side roads and the possibility of traffic approaching from the right, being so overloaded with potential hazards that they don't see how far out the wheel is and just clip it with a pedal sending them sprawling.
With time, tinted windows, the wipers left in a mid-position, and a little loose and rusty trim, this could develop well.
5/10 and a decent first time attempt from the amateur class.
