"anything that happens, happens. anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen. anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again. it doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though."
not only one of my favorite quotes...it has also proved to be mind boggeling accurate! I am of course referring to my adventures with none other than walter mauser!
walter mauser, as some, maybe all of you know by now, is my sometime work "car". I had a two week stint with walter a few weeks ago, and we were briefly reunited again last week. ...to the despair of the people of Maria Park (posh-ish part of helsingborg - swedish only on wiki).
I don't have a driving licence...only a certificate to drive an eu-moped - despite looking nothing like a moped, walter is classed as an eu-moped so therefore I am allowed to drive walter. just wanted to make that clear!
NORMALLY you'd need to take driving lessons in order to drive a vehicle. NORMALLY you'd drive with an instructor that tells you what to do, what you do right, what you do wrong, and so on. VERY RARELY do someone just plonk you in a vehicle and tell you to just go for it! but, when this happens...what do you do...you go for it! you make the best of the situation...you try and figure the vehicle out as best you can and then you just sort of drive...I guess! that's what I did anyway...and it's gone pretty well! ...if you don't take into account the numerous small accidents I've had during my three weeks with walter. as I'm a bit of list-lover...here's my walter-mauser-accident-list:
crashed into...
the edge of a pavement
a traffic sign
a large rock
a wall...the same one on several occasions
went flying over...
a speed bump...or maybe that should be bumpS
near misses...
a number of letterboxes
two jehovah's witnesses
I don't actually think I'm a bad driver as such...there just happens to be a lot of stuff in "my way"...ALL THE TIME!
