I am always such a careful person when it comes to parking my car, similar in fact to a bird of prey hunting for that all important meal. If possible I always tend to park in an end bay with the logic that at least only one side of the car can get damaged by a careless owner. Today upon arriving at my office my options were limited, so I opted for a nice space between a smart looking A4 and a huge Merc, (not sure of the class or is that klass??!!). Anyway, I thought that I would be safe parked between two rather expensive motors, however upon my return I was dismayed to see that Mr A4 had decided to test the durability of the A4 rear door against the durability of my A2 rear door. A nice sized amount of blue paint gave the game away instantly and the blue paint on my rear door matched the colour of the air... trust me on that!! Anyhow, a quick application of some Autoglym polish has revealed that fortunately my paintwork is unmarked and even the lacquer coat is still intact. If you look along the line of the car, a very, (and I do mean 'very'), small crease is evident, but fortunately that is the only permanent damage. Judging by the amount of blue paint that had deposited itself on my car, I hope, and boy do I hope, that Mr A4's rear door did not stand up as well as my craftsmanship built A2.
The A2 may be considered by some ignorants as a poor man or woman's A2, but yet again, it would appear that this little car has seen off it's bigger brother and further supports our owner thoughts on the build quality of this little car.
Think I will park 'horizontally' taking up two bays in future... or leave the car at home and walk!!
