Sounds like a typical I'm perfect, all's perfect doesn't happen to anybody
person to me.

You've never had anybody run the arse of your car?

I've had my Landrover hit up the back 2 times, revesed into 3 times,
probably because it was a 4wd so it obstructed their vision of it til it was
too late.

Not once in 13 years of driving.

You know the saying "you make your own luck"? I think there is a bit of
truth in it.

hopefully it was just to allow him to park the car at his house.
maybe theres another vehicle with bullbar or something and he doesnt want to
break
the lights by a slight bump.

Maybe he's a retired stuntman and every now and then he gets his friends
to drag him round the block while he hangs on at the back for old times'
sake ....
or maybe he's a stealth ram raider .... Cheers

Methinks you were looking at engineering works giving expression to many
years of urban driving.
Nothing to do with roaring about the place backwards, that's for sure:-)

Maybe it's the people behind him who need to hand in their licences.

Sounds like a 4wdriver talking there. Typical "everyone else is wrong but
I'm right" stance.

I saw a Camry today (1st of the wide body models) fitted with a reasonably
substantial aluminium bar behind the rear bumber. It was more than a nudge
bar, full width of the bumper, virtually like a rear roo bar, but only one
level.

Now, the fact that it was fitted to a Camry is not all that surprising,
given that the Camry is the new Crown in many respects. And yes, it was
driven by an old chap. I forget if it had the rear parcel shelf hat
installed.

Surely if you need one of these you should hand in your drivers licence?

Brett

should be called a touch parking bar :)
