Hope she and everyone else is ok

When I saw the title I thought you had accidentally bought another sax! 😉

Glad no one was badly hurt.

The driver of the van should have gone to...
... Oh, they did!

Also parking on yellow lines.

Oh dear, hope everything is OK. If it's affected the integrity of the building.... that won't be a minor fix.

At first glance, I thought maybe they arrived at the wrong Louvre...

Looks like the driver got a little confused.

It's supposed to be parallel parking, not perpendicular parking.

Interesting, good no one was seriously hurt. Did the driver jump out and forgot to set the parking brake?

Early 1970's, I remember a delivery driver backed his truck into a teacher's late model Ford Mustang parallel parked to the curb next to my high school's admin office. Did quite a bit of damage, pushed the car back about 10 feet before stopping.

horizontal perpendicular parking saves a lot of space but can be bad for cars.

Not when you perp park a 44ft cabin cruiser stern to the bank on Norfolk Broads canal. I managed it. Not on purpose, but chaos was caused.

That brings back memories ....
Not of perpendicular parking, but of the Norfolk Broads. I went there twice with my parents. Once when I was 6 and once when I was 10 (that was 55 and 51 years ago).
Good memories!

Was a good week about 25 years ago. 2 families in a 10 berth centre drive cruiser. 44 ft long 12 ft wide.

Oddly enough I happened to surf just at the right time on Wednesday and bagged a bargain... I think...

Couldn't get it started?
Or was it a house boat?

 

[Jeanette]

It wasn't supposed to move Home. 😂. boat house corrected to Boathouse 🙂

I’ve never seen a motorcycle back into a storefront. Not even one with a sidecar outfit. Could be a better option for UPS ?

Now I really want to move ! Below you see is a dry lake :40 minutes away by my nephews place.
