She had a few of them I think, I remember seeing a TV show about Scims, and she was on it, talking with a lot of fondness about them.

Yeah she's mentioned on the Scimitar wiki page, apparently she has had 9.
Indeed. Didn't Ford sub out the design and construction of the mighty RS200 Group B rally car to Reliant?

Just spotted this near my office. I'm guessing the ticket won't bother him.
I've purposesfully parked mine in places where I knew I was highly likely to get a ticket... and have already had 3... in order to avoid too small parking spaces or tiny multi-stories that have a high probability of causing damage to the car that's a lot more expensive than the ticket...
Presumably you'd pay given the opportunity, though. This was parked in a proper parking space, just without a valid ticket, I guess. It was gone when I walked back past half hour later, so I guess he wasn't aiming to stop long and just risked it.

Yeah... spot like that I'd have paid.
It's more when the spaces are too small I'd have to take 2 spaces to open the doors and/or avoid careless numpties opening their doors into it, or the only place is an overly tight multi-story and I don't want to scrape anything.

This is why I can't go anywhere in my car without doing a complete risk assessment first. I have to know if the venue being visited will have parking, if the parking will be sufficient (either large spaces or at least a high likelihood that I can find a space on the end of a row/out of the way), if there's likely to be people wandering past, if there are high kerbs to be avoided, etc. Girlfriend hates it; she'd spend ages trying to get a spot close to the entrance, I'll spend ages trying to get a spot as far from it as possible.

Discovered this quality parking job today, slap bang in the middle of two disabled spaces and blocking the pedestrian path in to the shop. YPLAC worthy.

What is this?
Never seen or heard of this marque before.
Scimitar GTE, now that brings back some memories. Bought one of those for £250 back when I was at University from a farmer who'd had it laying about his farm for years. Thing was more barn than car and took a bit of coaxing to start, but it drove away and I had it for years. Have to say though, it did take quite a few of those years to get it running perfectly. Still is one of my favourite cars I ever owned, it was my poor man's Jensen Interceptor.

That is quite spectacular. I suspect their disability is mentalnessness
