Sazzy Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 My ex used to go to pieces parking my car if I was in it. He just seemed to lose all ability to park, but it was always 'cos 'I made him nervous by being there'. Thing is, when I wasn't in it, he clearly used the rather high kerb in our street at the time as a guide as my alloys were ruined! So he should've just admitted he couldn't park full stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbatchew Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Ah this thread has made me laugh throughout. Particularly enjoy the genius of the foam products on the back of the boxster. To be fair I think you might need to treat her to a new car as I’m not sure I would care much about what that Micra hits either. ? My own story relates to the early days of my now wife and I. She was picking me up from the station, I got in the car and she just selected reverse built up a bit of speed and slammed into the front of an old pick up. The driver who was a stereotypical farmer type seemed fairly unfazed and after asking if she had broken his number plate (no but plenty of other scratches added) he told her in a relatively good natured way to just f@ck off and get on her way. Not sure a male driver would have received the same let off! Of course again it was my fault as my presence had made her “nervous”.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sazzy Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Nope, I was perfectly nice. I won't let him drive any of my cars now though, he wanted a 'go' in the Boxster. Erm I think not!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headless Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 UPDATE!!!!!! Wife just came home and put her Jimny in the garage and said...oh your foam thing has fell off the back of the car, went out and she'd hit the back again cos there was a clean bit on her front bumper cos her car is always filthy, so bit the bullet and just spent 30 minutes trying to find a bit to secure a ball and rope over a beam that would clear the up and over electric door chain mechanism, so have done the old ball hitting the front screen thing and got her to put her car back in to check it was ok, there is at least a foot between the front of the Jimny and the back of the Boxster, so hopefully that should cure it, but the foam is staying on the back of the Boxster just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tennis ball trick still requires her to take note of what she is doing and to look where she is going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxob Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 You could reinforce that with a 2cm high baton fixed to the floor up against the front wheels of the wife's car. Baton not high enough to stop Boxster but enough to provide a physical reminder to you wife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 One of the few cases where one could justify fitting an up-and-over garage door as a garage divider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm E Box Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Why are you letting her park anyway? Wimmin are just not predisposed with the ability to park any car anywhere at anytime. We have a rule I do the the things she can't do, like parking (especially in the garage) and she does the things that I can't do, like cooking cleaning and washing.

Jasonb Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I would put a carefully placed stinger on the garage floor that would stop her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
