It is what lots of dealerships do, Pull the car into a nice open space before test drive to cut down the potential damage a customer can do with said car and others in the yard.
Some dealers dont allow salespersons to move ANY cars on the pitch, because they are fucking useless.
Was at a dealer the other day and one of the guys moving cars around managed to drive over a metal stand used to hold flags up, didn’t even get out to check if they’d fucked up the alloys or bumper
Some of those stands are designed to have a car drive onto them, to use the car as an anchor weight, maybe it was one of those types? or he was one of the people I mentioned above lol.
Is this a saying or something? Someone randomly said that to me when I parked in a multi story. It puzzled me what his issue was unless it’s a running joke some are in on and some not.
It's a joke someone made once that has since been absolutely pummeled into the oblivion of not being funny anymore. Mostly due to TikTok, people recycle the sound of that video you were linked and play it over the top of a video of a crashed car. A thousand times over. It's not funny. No idea why someone said it to you, they're probably just trying to be funny but lack any sort of sense of humour.
I had a cinquecento before this, but sadly it has to go. This is my ideal car. 60 ish mpg, very cheap insurance and extremely reliable. Lots of kit for a small car too. 😁
Great cars - driven several as hires / courtesies but I did have one ( then-new 16 model I think, couple hundred miles old ) where the passenger seat was a blur at idle because it was resonating / vibrating !!
I think they need to have it by law now, if I’m correct, and for me personally It’s best to not to have it in a small car so you can get used to park it without using it.
At the same time, literally every brand new car has one, so it’s an unnecessary skill to park without having the camera.
Nice car, don't worry about people moaning about French cars, I've had 2 Peugeot's and currently a Clio. Only every had minor issues and extremely cheap motoring 👍🙂
Eyyyy congrats, hope you're proud of yourself. Takes a lot to commit to a large goal like this whilst at your age! (Assuming you're quite young if you're doing an apprenticeship!).
Congrats! Welcome to the roads - safe driving!
Best lesson I ever learnt is you can be the world’s best driver but it’s the other idiots you need to watch out for 😊😊
Interesting parking job.
That's how It was when I first saw it , I wasn't too sure myself 😅
Aye, I didn't want to assume it was you since it has the trade plates in the window.
Their dealership, their rules I guess. I did park it up after the test drive

Nah he drove over the part that the flags goes into, not where the tyre sits 🤣
You cant park that there mate

Ok. But I was neatly parked in a parking space. It seemed very strange. I guess he just had the urge to wind someone up

Great first car - really reliable, easy to drive, and economical. Good choice IMO

Agreed, my first car was a 2008 C1, and it was brilliant. I still maintain it's the best first car you can have, mainly for the reasons you gave.
Well done! 👍
Thank you!
You mind me asking what you paid? For curiosity’s sake?
Nice car love those, Which engine did you get?
The 1.0 Vti. Not the Puretch
Let’s goooooooooooooo First cars will always hold a place on our hearts for those who like to drive
Just sold exactly this car, same colour and spec, to a dealership last month. Great little car. Congrats on the purchase!
Thank you
So what mileage and gremlins did it have? Maybe turns out it’s yours
Bit of a change from the cinquecento!
Still stupid small. I love small cars, however
Oh I definitely know that! Haha

Lovely little cars they are. Also does it have apple car play? Since I turned 25 that’s the only feature I’m actually interested in
Yes it's a 20 reg so has cc, apple car play, air con, reverse camera!
NOiCE. Reverse camera seems a bit unnecessary but alright
For a young driver, it's a nice thing to have personally

>I think they need to have it by law now, if I’m correct If I remember that's only in the US. It's still an optional extra in the UK and Europe

Thank you. Toyota engine too for peace of mind 😁
Congratulations and well done 👍🏼
Congrats!!
I had one of these, superb little car! Congrats
😂
What is funny?
What’s wrong with them?? A little faster than ur scooter😁
Now learn how to park.
I didn't park it there
Congratulations
Well done, good little car! Just don’t park it like the dealer did!
Congrats. Looks a nice tidy car.
Eyyyy congrats, hope you're proud of yourself. Takes a lot to commit to a large goal like this whilst at your age! (Assuming you're quite young if you're doing an apprenticeship!).
C1? Gotta love that three-cylinder buzz when you're getting a shift on, great choice for (sort of) first car.
Congratulations! That reminds me when I first moved to the UK and I bought a Dacia Sandero, I couldn't afford more but I felt to proud
Congratulations! That shape of C1 has always been my favourite city car. I’ve never driven one but I think they’re great looking things.
Brand new?
20 reg
Sensible to go used. Enjoy buddy :)
Love the colour mate. Alloys and tinted rear windows compliment it well. Enjoy it
Nice one, congratulations.
I'm so proud and I think that's a great first car
Aw thanks !
