I got to college this morning and most of the spaces were gone. All except for this one. So i didn't hesitate to try swing round and park. And i succeded. Also, the Ranger got moved over after so we could both get into our cars. Posted Image

Thats an awsome fit! me and my mate took our mini's to Asdas car park and found an empty trolly thing and parked both mini's in at the same time !

And where i work have wider bays to make room for vans, so having my car in the parking space makes it look MAJOR small!

The next thing on my list of things to do is park it in a trolley bay as you can't have a mini without doing that!!

When other cars are parallel parked could you park a mini in perpendicularly? Average parking space size is 2.76x6.1 and a mini is 1.4x3.05 so should only stick out about 29cm and I'm sure you could get some over the curb so it would barely stick out at all.
