As I said in my earlier Lada post, I’ve spent a couple of days in Amsterdam this weekend. The city is surprisingly nice in terms of car spotting: there’s a bunch of Amsterdam street sightings in supply in the near future.
But as a weekend post, I’ll show you how they park around here. Or the thing is: I don’t know how they did this. See for yourself.
Not only are the parking spots around Amsterdam usually dangerously close to water (just like Amstel beer, hur hur), but they’re also surprisingly tight. The owner of this Alfa Romeo 156 has done the seemingly impossible, and managed to get his car in the spot only millimeters longer than his car. With a drop into the canal right there next to it.
The rear end is right next to the pole.
So is the front.
Everybody I showed these photos said the guy probably employs a jack and dollies and pushes his car sideways onto the spot. There’s no other explanation, unless you like doing 50-point turns to park your car and get your car out every day.
