Title: Parking your car, Belgian style
Post by: belbbmfan on January 25, 2010, 02:05:24 pm

I saw this on tv the other night. An 87 year old Belgian man shows how he puts his car in his garage as he has been doing on a daily basis for the last 59 years. His garage isn't very big though.  :laugh: Watch how he manages to get out of his car once it's inside! Clever man.

That's Belgian know-how!


Thanks for sharing Fabienne.

For our friends not too aquainted with the metric system: the garage is only 2.36 inches wider than the car, so he has 1.18 inches on each side! :o

Oh, that was great!  And to think he's done it every day for 59 years - I bet he could almost do it with his eyes closed. Clever man, indeed.  Thanks, Fabienne - and thanks for the metric conversion, Chrissi.

Brilliant!  The only words I recognized were:  "twee" and "voila".

Brilliant!!!

You gotta call that compact car-parking!!   ;D

I love the way he had to pull his head inside the car before he actually entered the garage!

Long may he live and keep his strength to push the car back and forth in order to get out of it!!  :laugh:

OK, the second I saw he had a door in his garage, I knew what he was going to do.  An old trick.  I thought it was going to be something hard.  ;D

Good on him!

If it were me, I would've damaged my house and car sooooo many times.   :laugh:
