i always park across 2 spaces when i go to work. and i know where i can park and be in full vision of one of the cctv cameras so i know if anything happens it will be recorded
im also very selective about parking in car parks when going into town etc. so normally take the missus clio

I never have problems parking the 350, as said above if your that worried then don't leave it in carparks. Seeing dickheads taking two spaces really gets on my tits - esp. when it's some boy racer thinking he owns a Rolls Royce

I personally dont park over two spaces but i know how annoying it is when people hit your car. I cant see how it is so hard to get into a car without destroying the other cars next to it
As i was waiting for somebody in my car the other week and somebody hit my car with their door whilst i was in it and then another person parked there and did the same

A BMW had parked like this yesterday in Tesco, I actually got in the gap next to him and we were going to climb out the top and walk off, but the car parked properly woud have struggled as well so we moved.
Would have loved to see the BMW driver come back

to be honest, there is no real reason to park over more than one space, if you are that bothered about your car, dont park next to others, park in part of the car park which doesnt have cars in
and im on butlers side on this one

Or park at the end of the row and tuck it tight to the kurb rather than in the middle of the space.

Parents come back to their car at the weekend parked in a car park and had a chunk of paint chipped with a red mark of wher the door had been opened from another car on the door below the handle!
I park in the bays but when some people go and do that to an 06reg beemer you understand why a lot of people park over 2 bays!
I have a dent in my rear quater panel on the car from where some old lady opened her door on it
More money to have a dent removed professionaly as it hasn't come out just hitting it out from inside!

Well I must be lucky as i've never came back to my car and found damage caused by whoever was parked next to me. I also wouldnt park over two bays, not unless I intended on buying two tickets. There's no need.

This what I do. Even tho it's quite sad I'm also quite selective about what I park next to -
No MPV's or 4 door family cars, with kids likely to be getting in/out the back.
And no scummy cars where the owner is likely to not care if he hits mine and damages both cars.
Although it's sods law that even if you find a quiet corner of a carpark, some massive MPV minibus thing will have parked next to you by the time you come back to your car, even tho the rest of the carpark is completely empty!

also why dnt you just park at the emptiest part if your so worried, or park next to other nice cars that wont want to hit you and ruin both cars

i dont park in 2 gaps in a ticket/pay and display car park, i only ever do it at supermarkets and other places like this.
yes it may seem like being a sad bastard but at the end of the day if you come back to your car and it is damaged becasue of the person next to you, you would be mad, so why take the chance.
yes it would be more considerate to park in a quieter part of the car park and sometimes i do this
