She'd have been better off driving straight in & parking it at 90 degs to the kerb. Don't really need to speak Italian(?) to get the gist of what she said! ;D
Mrs B wouldn't have eve tried parallel parking in the first place.  ;)

Anyone having visited any French city will know the bumpers are for parking.  Gentle nudges to gain an inch or two are quite normal...

Yep Was sat in Paris in a cafe and I saw a car pull up and i laughed to my ExWife she is never going to get in that gap

BUMP PUSH SQUEEZE BUMP PUSH BUMP PARKED

I was sat there watching in Horror as she bashed her way in. no wonder they all have metal number plates over there,

If it was my car she had bashed parking like that i would of taken a baseball bat to her and her car  >:(

I love the bit where she shouts and swears at the estate car who can't get past because of her incompetence.

She must have been practicing for the hokey- kokey.

In out..in out... :-?
