A blog about cars in Aberdeen.

This is a blog about cars in Aberdeen because most people aspire to the convenience of personal motor transport, pay dearly for the privilege, provide much employment, contribute greatly in taxes, and then people expect them to ‘leave the car at home’, while their money is spent creating cycle lanes and the like for freeloading cyclists.

Exciting PaveParking Special WN51LWS - 'The Weekender'

Regular visitors to the Aberdeen Cars blog will know that Wednesday is our regular 'PaveParker of the Week' slot, and this most recent week we broke the format by awarding a 'PaveParking Location' award.

Well, we recieved a few complaints, and have decided to rectify matters by awarding a special discretional award, the "Weekender PaveParker". This award goes to the driver of this Aberdeen Car spotted parking on the pavement of Aberdeen's Broomhill Road outside the recently re-branded and re-launched 'Cafe au Clay' (formerly The Ceramic Experience).

So we congratulate our first 'Weekender PaveParker'; the driver of Aberdeen Car Fiat Brava hatchback '80' (?) reg. WN51LWS who demonstrates that double-yellow lines are advisory only (particularly at the weekend), that pavements and pedestrian-build-outs provide demand responsive emergency parking, that accesibility dropped-kerbs assist the PaveParking maneuver and that, when it comes to child safety, the safety of one's own child is greatly more important than the safety of everyone else's - particularly those who might be using the pavement. We all know that pedestrians demonstrate their lack of importance in the most evident way possible - by not being in a nice car.

Thanks very much for that, WN51LWS! We think you're just great!

PaveParker of the Week! SV06LEU

Congratulations to this week's PaveParker of the Week! Using the pestestrian build-out on Aberdeen's Broomhill Road, the driver of Aberdeen Car Vauxhaul Astra Hatchback 1.6i 16V "Life" (oooh!) Reg. SV06LEU demonstrates that his journey is vital to the economic future of Aberdeen "City and Shire".



Yes, by crossing the double-yellows and butting right up against the "No Parking At Any Time" sign, the clever driver of this Aberdeen Car shows us he knows that, being special and important, it is up to him (or her) to decide where and how to park. He or she knows that the pestestrian build outs are actually demand-responsive emergency parking bays, set aside for the busy motorist to use if the exigencies of his or her busy lifestyle or work-of-national-importance demand it.


We were very excited when we noticed that this demand-responsive emergency parking bay had been pressed into use by the driver of this very nice Aberdeen Car. We must assume that they were on a mission the outcome of which would dictate the success or otherwise of the economy of Aberdeen "City and Shire" and therefore that of UK plc as a whole.

We hope it turned out OK!

PaveParker of the Week! Wrights Catering YY05HFW

Congratulations to this week's PaveParker of the week, spotted outside the wee shoppie on the corner of Aberdeen's Broomhill Road and Balmoral Place.


Full PaveParking, PaveParkvertising. It's all pure PaveParking magic from Wrights Catering as they use the dropped kerb and pedestrian build-out at the junction to facilitate this highly accomplished anti-pedestrian maneuver.

Check out their delivery terms at www.wrightscatering.co.uk - they offer a free office delivery service, catering to the needs of the busy cubicle-bound drivers of Aberdeen Cars as they desk-dine their way to finding a way to hopfully trying to create some ideas which will generate some much-needed economic growth for Aberdeen "City and Shire".

Judging by how many of the flatted properties around the area pictured are "to let" it looks like economic growth is really very much required! If Wright's Catering and the like continue with their economic-growth generating motoring activities, we'll surely see those "to let" signs turning back into "for sale" signs soon! Here's hoping!


So we thank Wright's Catering - we thank them for supporting the drivers of Aberdeen Cars in their quest for an economic future, and we thank them for their pro-property anti-pedestrian activities in the west end of town. This sends out all the right messages and demonstrates that Aberdeen is one city which really knows where it's going.
