I see you parked in a disabled bay, do you need it? If not we do.
Wait for Badger to get round here and take cover

Look at the weather, why have you go the hard top on MB

It's ok there is another unused one behind him.

Given you know FA about MB, I don't really know why you have posted that.

And to say you know FA about having to use a wheelchair I don't know why you posted that. There are spaces for abled body peop;e to park behind as well

What a lovely commute to work. Much better than mine through the roadworks this morning!

Santenay, ok I didn't plan to park there, it was opportunistic and didnt see it was disabled - but you are getting a bit excited over nothing.

Here is a pic of my last S

I don;t see how that space is in any way better for a wheelchair than any of the other spaces behind?

If there were no other spaces, fair point, but Mark probably only stopped to take a pic anyway

You don't have to be in a wheelchair to be disabled, so why make that comment?

Mark your black S looks much nicer, no wonder you're seling the silver one

I simpley asked if you required the disabled space, you were then decent enough to appolgise, which was accepted and the matter forgotten about,
Then Morrons try and defend the actions of parking in a disabled bay with personal comments.
I could go on about the problems we have due to abled bodied people parking in a disabled bay but it would be wasted on people like these. May be we should restart what Hitler used to do and terminate disable people and then they would not have a problem.
Disabled people do not choose to be so and they still deserve a chance at life, if that means disabled parking bays are required to make things a little easier, the least abled bodied people can do is respect their needs. If they have problems with this then I really do feel sorry for them. Because we use a whellchair it has not stopped us from making the most of life, we have got up mountains and toured Europe on the back of a motorbike, yes we had to be lifted on and off but we did not use the disablity as an excuse not to do it.
From my experience of this website Motorcyclist are far more friendly and helpful than what we have experience here. Unfortunately we can no longer ride a motorcycle that is why we bought a Silverstone S2000 5 years ago

Np probsm and fair point - I think it was just the manner in which you posted which got a few back up.

For the record the pic above was by the owner prior to me, and used in his advert.

Good job you pointed that out, as I was going to post about you making a habit of parking in disabled spaces.
