Just see the damndest thing!
So I pull in Tesco, and park between two Vauxhalls - a silver Corsa on my right, and a blue (new shape) Astra on my left. Even room between all three of us, all parked within the marked bays, not too far foward, and not too far back, as directly behind is a kerb and bush. All of us facing forward, rear end of the cars facing the bush.
Go into Tesco, do shopping, standing at the checkout and an announcement comes over the tannoy saying would the owner of a car with reg KU56 blah blah come to recepetion. I pay no attention.
Go back to my van, and both cars still either side of me. Except with one difference - the blue Astra now has it's arse end embedded in the bush behind it! It's rear wheels are up and past the kerb, now in the flower bed and the boot has dissapeared into the bush!
I had a look at the front end - incidentally it has the KU56 plate - and there's no sign of damage, no tyre marks, no scrape makrs on the floor, so no indication it's been pushed....
Damndest thing! How bizarre!

i think maybe the owner had finishd shopping.. packed all there stuff in the car and then ment to drive off.. however it was probably an automatic car so put it in revevrse and reveresd into the bush by mistake.then they couldnt get the car out of the bush so ran back inside tesco so they didnt look like retards

probably right actually. however, I would've loved to have been there watching them do that. Would just be standing there pissing myself laughing
but how could you not get an astra out of there because its front wheel drive

Well it IS a 24hr store
Nah, I also reckon she started it in reverse, or put it in reverse by mistake and nailed it into the bush. But that doesn't explain why a) she fucked off leaving the car there instead of just pull away forwards and drive off, and b) why the store had to call her reg out over the tannoy asking her to come to reception......
It's a Mystery!
