Leave it out man. Parkings paropper rock. Specially in backwards gear. You have to turn the wheel the opposite way.

I would comment but I've curbed my ATS too many times to be funny. Bristol is harsh on cars.

I'm not one for gouging my rims, but I'm not scared of kerbs either. Good spacial awareness - and mirror use ftw! :lol:

Aside from a half inch kerb scuff on one of my old RL-7's, I have marked a Superlite due to a pothole, and scraped an old 17 very lightly all the way around the rim due to getting a bit keen with hitting the apex (literally) on the back roads. :lol:

Parking is fine but it's more the narrow tight corners that I have to try and get around :( Mirrors no use there.
