Is it legal to park a faulty car in front of the business of the dodgy dealer who sold it to me?

A used car dealer sold me a faulty car. Is it legal to park the faulty car in front of the dealer's gates with a sign in the window telling everyone of the dodgy deal?

If it's legally parked where there are no parking restrictions, or if it's parked on a paid meter, that's legal. But, of course, you could face a court case for defamation from the dealer and it would then be up to you to defend the wording on your car with proof that it was 100 per cent true.
