1992 Pontiac Trans-Am. The turning from lock to lock was terrible, because of the width of the tyres. It use to catch me loads when i was trying to bay park. Made me look like i couldn't drive ::)

Ah, same van as mentioned above, only had it a few days (they replaced my Escort with a transit box van).  I found it very difficult to park it under the roof overhang of a customer's bungalow - believe me, I tried.  Very hard. £14,000 hard.  ::)

A 2.6 SD1.....not running on a full compliment with a knackered auto box!


That is standard - they only run on 6 as it is the wrong engine


This was running on barely 4....had to put it in neutral, rev the nads off it and drop it in drive or reverse and then quickly back to neutral to stop it stalling!

And i was parralel parking it in a spot which was less than 1.5x the car length!


Not your car then ;D


Christ no, it was a spares or repairs trade in.....and a great advert for isopon!

I can't think of a car that was difficult to park, but the easiet has to be my Dad's MKII Granada Estate, despite it's size. It's so square it makes it dead easy to park.

My Pontiac was brilliant for parking,  nudge it up to a car that was in my parking space and nudge it out of the way (hand brake on or off)  Oh I do miss that car.
