My first question would be why is the car park in a construction area
in the first place.

I remember years ago when a car was trying to save money on parking fees
and he park in a Meriton construction site in the city.

When the owner came back he got a shock when the side of his car got so
many scratch marks from trucks, 3 wheel trolleys that carry cement and so
many scratch marks that is so hard to name them all.

Teach him a lesson next time to check before parking.

Ok, I'll be first....

I'll bet the operator felt a little flat after that. I bet the owner flattened the crane operator when he got back. I wonder if it got taken away on a flat bed?

It looks more like a 0.5 series now.
Sell it to some younger badge seekers - saying it has been fully lowered and aerodynamic
