Parking problems

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Parking problems

Postby Geoff M on Mon Sep 10, 2012 9:38 pm

Parking is becoming a problem in some parts of QLD.

Not sure if it is due to lack of parking spaces or poor driver skills :biglaugh:

I think I am going to blame poor parking skills!

Not quite so sure - my mum had a 180B I think when I was a very young lad and this doesn't quite look square enough

180B was not a square-ish body. I had one. The 180B didn't have the body crease on the lower section, that this car has.

I think I'm with Ozi here on this being a 120Y.

Both were splendid cars, as was my 200B, but none of them were in the class of my grandpa's pristine Datsun 1600. Those were the days... :D

Just as the 180B was not a 1600, the 200B was never a 180B.

Datsun had a great car in the 1600 - we used to rally one - but as they developed it through the years, it became heavier, less agile, not as much fun, and much less of a car.

The final ignomy was when they tried to resurrect the 1600 in the Stanza.

Very true Gary. Our 200B was an LPG-only model, and in those days it was quite difficult to find LPG at times. After repairing a blown head gasket, the car finally rusted to pieces and is now, I assume, after having passed through Simsmetal, resurrected as a Hyundai, or a Daewoo, or a toaster... :D

I think there are some closet datsun lovers here...

Hey Geoff, this would make a nice night scape I reckon, light paint it with a view of the milkyway in the BG.

And they're coming back into the market place, too. Nissan are bringing the Datsun name back into some of their markets.
