Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
You remember that boy racer thingy, the one with a drain pipe for an exhaust? Saw it again yesterday. This is one of my pet peeves. I remember a campaign years ago by Scope when the charity was formerly known as: The Spastic Society. There was a large photo of a parking bay with the wheelchair symbol painted in it. The caption read: "Is this the only time that you ever put yourself in our place?" I would rather risk a ticket than park in, a reserved for the less abled, bay.

i know a lady who was delivering the weeks takings to the bank in our local town a couple of winters ago when all the parking was flooded so she parked in the disabled spot outside the bank.. €250 fine & she won't do it again
Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
Fining such ignorant twunts isn't enough! The default penalty for parking in a badgeholder spot should be shooting the perpetrator through the kneecaps, but I'm not a complete badstart and anyone with missing knees as a result of this punishment should subsequently be issued with a badge. Yes, this would mean that they'd continue to use the spots that were previously out of bounds to them, but at least they'd know where they'd gone wrong.
Or maybe just confiscate their cars and use these confiscated cars for banger racing. That solution would prevent the wanton destruction of many older cars too. Win!
Meanwhile, I have mostly been seeing Jaguars of the XK120/140/150 variety today, most of them foreign registered and some even equipped with - be sat for this - LEFT HAND DRIVE! Aaaarrrrgghh! Must've been some form of event happening, this was in the Coldstream area at around 12 noon.
@GHT: By the way, that Daihatsu is far too new to be VED exempt on the basis of age, so it must be in the restricted use (unlikely) or the DLA404 (more likely, there's a lot of it about..) class, in which case, and assuming that the entitled party was using the car at the time it was parked, it may well have been parked perfectly legitimately. The more enlightened parking patrol people would wait around to establish the occupants(s') entitlement then, if they were indeed the person named on the registration document, remind them to remember their badge next time. If that person were the DLA404 entitled person's spouse/offspring/friend from the club, etc. then they should be punished.
