I bet getting it out again is a bit trickier!   ;D

I've seen a small car (tiny little Fiat ?)'bounced' sideways out of a parking space by four people...back in the early sixties....That was in Paris.
Perhaps the French have a particularly practical method, when it comes to getting their cars in and out of a tiny space.
I can still see that as tho' it was yesterday. ;)

Yes but that was when Fiats were made very thin steel and plastic - What am I saying - they still are    ;D  Bit like thier WW2 tanks really.  :d

Very impressive, but nothing on the Italians, saw this in Rome a few years ago
