So you think you're a good driver eh?

I have given up after 20+ tries. If anybody manages it do you get a fanfare?

Got it on the fourth attempt: don't know about the fanfare as the sound on my laptop is goosed.

Sorry, "goosed" is a slang term in this neighbourhood for "non-functional". Another local synonym would be "chibbed".

Similar to 'fu#ked' over here.

No fanfare. Just a congratulatory screen and you advance to the next level.

How is it I can do it in a real car but not on this damn thing?

Manitas is crap at parking cars... we need a taxi to get us to the kerb. More often than not it's not so much parked as abandoned.

30+ goes now and still can't park. Even when I think I have they don't. I can't see a dog so I've probably killed it.

It comes up with Parked Perfectly but my sound was off so I don't know if it did a fanfare. Incidentally I parked on third attempt!

Took me about 6 goes but I managed the next level in 1.

The dogs on the last level (4).

Pretty easy realy - Do I see a divide in how people park?

You only get the dog if you get to the fourth level. There weren't any congratulatory noises, but there is a lot of crashing and tinkling if you hit another car and you have to start all over again :-(

Messed up a few times on the first level but having got used to the controls, found it easy from there.

I find parking weird and frustrating because I can get it right about 60% of the time. The trouble is that for the remaining 40% of the time I can't, for the life of me, figure out where I went wrong!

Bloody annoying. Far too easy to mix up forward and reverse if you're using a keypad.

How did those cars end up in so silly places to start with anyway, and who cares if they're pointing towards the keb or not most of the time?

Took me two goes. The first time I ran out of time being too carefu. Himself hasn't been sucessful yet. Ha!

46 seconds, all four levels. Had a couple of practice goes first (and you have to find out what happens when you hit the dog....), but it takes a lot of concentration for a non-game player to remember that forwards/backwards and left/right reverse when the car is facing you!
