As above really.
Specifically vote for the MK5, not any other car you own/aspire to own...
We will assume that the location is reputable, and that the valet parker dude isn't going to drive off with your car!
I'm just curious really..! I think I probably would if I was in the mood! But under normal situations then no!
Vote away! :driver: :driver:

Are you bored? :laugh: :driver:
I am too protective of cars though but went for the dependin on situation option.

Mike...I am very bored yes!
But I just saw a clip of a car being valet parked on the TV, so it made me wonder!
:smiley:

Fairplay. I too am bored. I can only handle so much studying about how terrible white people are. . . On another note. I must agree that in sa i would not let anyone near our cars. But in some countries like australia and such i would. Its all about the situation. You give your car to someone down here and when you get it back it will have a 1.1 litre engine. No headunit. Rims or steering wheel. Lol

Depends on the situation really, if i had no option i would i guess i would have to give it to the valet guy with a stern warning on his life if anything happens to my car :wink:
i could imagine him flying down the ramp and smashing my front bumper to bits :driver: and the start telling me it was like that when he got it :fighting:
-
Yes, as long as i could sit in the passenger seat. :innocent:

When you mention valet parking, I'm so reminded of the film Ferris Bueller's day off...

I dont think I would to be honest, only if I really had to! Don't get me wrong the MKV GTI is a well respected car but I dont think it is quite worthy of being valet parked :happy2:

i was "stateside" in april, we went to a really nice japanses in brentwood, its near malibu in california.
Valet parking is obviously the norm there, so we didnt think anything of giving the guy the keys and walking away from our beast (dodge somethin or other with a big V8, all bark no bite)
We thought the guy must park hundreds of expensive cars all day, then crunch...
...he ran right into one of those concrete bollards, those BIG kerbs they like to use in the states.
he scratched all the bumper, but the rental company couldnt care less! we paid another 20 dollars or so for cover against that.
the car had about 1500 miles on it!!

The only way I would do this is if It was a reputable detailing company doing the valet, and I was aware of their washing and drying method's and the product's they use!

I think you got your wires crossed here mate as valet parking has nothing to do with detailing. :smiley:

Greenouse is from Brum - They don't know what valet parking is in that neck of the woods. It probably sounds a bit gay to them :evilgrin:

Which is why I voted no :happy2:
Im aware of the type of service a usual 'valet' service would supply, which is why I was so specific with my answer :wink:

....Yep, I know. I spent quite a few years under lock and key near Brum in a place called Bromsgrove School, remember?

I had to let the chap who did my detail drive my car from his house to Liverpool and even more scary i bought my car from Alan Day VW in london and was expecting my motor to arrive on a transporter the night before i rang them up to give the transporter driver accurate directions, and they said sorry sir there has been a mix up your car is getting delivered by one of our drivers. :scared: :scared: :scared:
Anyway he promised to send his most experianced driver, my choice was leave the car in the dealers for a few more days risking Y.T.S carnage or take me chances with the driver.
So i opted for the latter and sat on my step waiting for him for 3 hours solid with my arse cheeks squeezed tightly. :chicken:
I then got a call from the dealer saying is he there yet he left hours ago, i said No he F***ing well isnt. :mad:
Then as i put the phone down my lovely car came round the corner and MR magoo was driving it. :grin: :grin: I swear to god he was in his 80's he couldnt even get out of the recaros's. :driver: the average MPG read 39 something. :rolleye:
-
No. Never. I barely trust myself to park.
-
Absolutely no way. I even go to the Airport long stay carpark in the wifes car so that mine can stay tucked up safe and warm :innocent:

have no choice when going to blackpool casino,
last time i was there he clipped my wing mirror and reversed into the side of a people carrier, then i went outside for a cig and saw one of the lads reverse another car into another car! seen them f00k about too many times, but still leave it with them, if they scratch it then they pay, simple as.
