sometimes you cant find a parking space long enough/wide enough down town and they dont go in the multi storys because of the height restrictions.

I don't have a problem finding a space in the open for our LWB panel or SWB minibus, it's just sometimes you have to walk a bit further. I take up two spaces in line when I go to Asda in the big un! And no, you can't go into multi stories. That having said, I used to know somebody with a landrover discovery who couln't get into the local multi either.

You can get a Hi Cube in and around bluewater's multi story carpark but you cant get out by the exit ramp :) :oops:

i used to have the same problem with what was Safeways, the out door had too steep a bend in it to get an extra LWB luton out of it, so I used to go out the in gate French style, main beam, hazards and horn!!!

Majority of the multistory car parks round here have a 2m hight restriction , my van is a fraction under , but i usually park just outside the town center and stroll in , saves the hideous parking charges and never have a problem parking , as regards to getting it into spaces it is a doddle , you can see everything in the wing mirrors and if your a bit tight in a space you can get in and out of the sliding door :D :D

bluewater has a similar restriction (only just got under the bar holding the restiction marker)
but when you take a wrong turn and the as*&%le behind you sitts on yer bumper and wont let you backup and wont go round you,
i was very suprised that i didnt smash any of the flourescent lights as there could only be 1 or 2mm clearence.
