Okay fair enough, I bet you park that bike firmly in Merkels bike rack.

[NSC] Where do you park your car?

Always.
As an aside I deliberately chose to live close to public transport as I hate driving.

We don't have a drive, and the front of the house is pedestrianised, so it's a free for all at the back. Most of the time we can park outside the back gate, but there's no guarantee.

I don't have a car but we have space for 3 off-road so better half and daughter park there and there is room for bf or bff or, at the moment, daughter's previous car that she is promising to sort out selling but is just sitting there quietly rusting at the moment!
Exactly. Where's the option for "No idea; the butler takes care of things like that"?

A different kind of pasty
Only have one car in the household, but it hardly moves from street parking Mon-Fri as I commute to London and Mrs P has a 10 minute walk to work.

I have three cars so two on the drive and a low key bun fight for street parking.
Why does OP want to know the parking habits of users on NSC? Is it a slow news day? Do we need a poll? And of course the main question, can NSC users parking space play left back?
Whoah......sugar rush

It was a reaction to: http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?365851-Parking-outside-your-home-is-a-privilege!.
It would not be a privilege for me to park outside my house as I park on my own drive [no room in the garage] - I was interested to know if the majority or NSC folk were the same as me, or whether I was in the minority. Turns out I'm in the 63% "club"
Apologies for not checking in with you first for approval before I post a poll, I'll try and remember for next time ....

We can comfortably park six cars, so no problem with our three and visitors.

No need to check, you can run carte blanche with the polls......I've had my footie fix now, so I'm not so grumpy

The most curious thing..
I used to live in a terraced house with on-street parking only available. One night a black cab drove down the street with a rear door left open managed to cause about £450 damage to my car by scraping the whole drivers side - plus hitting about five other cars on the way. Fortunately somebody spotted the cab and the driver had to pay for the damage.
So never park on the road if you can park off road. Its way too easy for some idiot to break something - or some mindless vandal casually keying the paintwork.

A couple of youths keyed (deeply) 20 cars in a row, in broad daylight, down our road. Cars parked in driveways escaped unscathed.

65% off road/driveway. Fecking hell. Have been in this site for 20 years almost but the middle classness of that result (to date) surprises me.

I rent a private space in the centre of Barcelona for my car. 130€ per month, there is an option to buy a space for €20k but I’m not sure if it’s worth it

Seems strange, although the trend for SUVs is fairly recent. I often wonder if you have one of these can you actually get it into the garage, and if you can is there then enough space to open the door and get out.
With the coming ability to park the vehicle by being outside the car by the use of a phone app will make this easier.
