The presentation of this little vehicle inaugurates a series about guest vehicles. While you have seen at length the many cars I was susceptible to travel in in Couteau, I thought it interesting to give you an idea of the vehicles I was most likely to come across while driving on the roads of the Duchy. Some are impressive, others completely unlikely or damn right crazy, but this one certainly belongs to the rolling garbage category. Yet, this happens to be the average ride for many folks, and a lot can't even afford a car as complete as this one. You'd have been unable to miss the hideous colour and the ridiculous shape; note also how it seems to miss a front and rear bumper. To finish with this insult to taste and human dignity, let me tell you I've heard that owners of this model avoid at all costs to park their car in the street on garbage collecting day. I wonder why.
The fuel tank is so tiny on that model and the fuel gauge so unreliable that you'd better be prepared to give it a push back home more often than not. An advantage in that situation : it's so tiny that you're likely to be able to push it by yourself. That's lucky as probably nobody would have helped you anyway : folks do have their dignity!
We would like to thank the owner of this car, Mr D., for allowing us to photograph his car and share the images on this blog.
