Since I so enjoy posting about bad parking, I thought I should share with you a recent example of my own skilz.
About parking…
Category: Wheels
Make it make sense.
Parking places 1 and 2 are my favorites at Tienda Inglesa, for what should be an obvious reason. Today I pulled into 1. As I did, the car in 2 pulled out. 3 was also empty.
A silver car then chose to park in one of the two empty places. Can you guess which it was? (Uruguayan driver answers only.)
W00t! A new paint job!
Well, it’s gotten a new lease on life.
I should have taken a photo yesterday when I saw the owner painting it…with a paint roller.
Years ago I took a picture of the staggering number of colors a VW Beetle had been painted:
Maybe somewhere I have a photo of a car (we saw more than one when we first moved here) that had been painted with a brush.
Let your imagination go wild
It’s fun to extrapolate: what might other aspects of this person’s life look like? Yard? Kitchen drawers? Closets? Note that there are no apparent dents in the vehicle, so that’s something.
I’ll say no more.
Nothing exceeds like excess.
How thoughtful of them.
So you’re the guys on the left, looking over a lot for sale, and you’ve arrived in two vehicles, so how do you park them?
Obviously, in a way that creates the maximum difficulty for anyone else who might dare to think of using the road.
This is not the first time I’ve encountered this here.
Funny little car
Well maintained or restored. I drive by this car every day on the road it’s facing, but never saw it until I took this side road as a shortcut.
And there are others as well, awaiting their TLC.
From Bielefeld
Sighted yesterday: another lightweight, compact German camper.
Silly season kicks off!
Yes, the season of lightweight Teutonic campers has officially arrived. In front of Tienda Inglesa.
Making sense now
I noted the underwhelming Alfa Romeo display at Tienda Inglesa a month ago.
Today it was Volkswagens, far more interesting to me, since my first car was a 1960 Beetle I bought for $50 at age 15, and I also had a 1964 VW Bus and a 1968 Squareback.
The requisite racer (note surfer’s Squareback behind):
And the eye-catcher of them all:
Not sure what the fender with handlebars is about. But—above it is the clue! This is German week at Tienda Inglesa, just as a month ago it was Italian week, hence the Alfa Romeos.
