I washed the car today so I thought whilst it's clean I'll take a few pictures. So in order to get a decent setting I drove to our local woods and parked up. I was busy taking pictures when I man emerged from the woods and wandered over. Is that one of them high breeds? he said. I was about to correct him when I noticed that he had that sort of look that lead me to believe that challenging him in any way could quite possibly result in me being dragged off into the woods where I would be treated to a rendition or two on a banjo before being dismembered and disposed of in a shallow grave. Yes I said that's right. He then told me that it isn't really that eco friendly and that he bought an old car that cost him very little. Fair enough I thought. Then he did something completely out of character for an Englishman, he decided to give me chapter and verse on his entire life as it played out over the last six months. This involved both people and dogs dying and culminated in the story of his purchase of a caravan that had developed a leak that caused him to make a claim against the company from whom he had acquired it. Apparently he had paid cash for the caravan and as such he had little or no hope of making his claim stick. Once again I thought better of disagreeing with my new friend, who by now I was convinced was related to Charles Manson. He then felt the need to tell me that the leak manifested it's self as a flooding of the toilet and he had only bought the caravan because it had a toilet as he has to go numerous times through the night! I had now reached the point where I was no longer listening to him as all my brain power was concentrated on a plan to escape from this chap before he invited me to the inevitable banjo recietal. However the best I came up with was, well I must get on with these picture. Needless to say that cut no ice with him and he moved onto the next instalment of his life. Then without any warning he lost interest in me and my high breed and walked back into the woods from whence he came. In the event that he had gone to get his banjo I decided to make a swift exit. I did however get some pictures
Good story, Glad your still alive. it could have gone much differently though.. only thing missing was that it was 9 p.m. And it was foggy other than that perfectly well told story.
I can think of many amusing and witty comments to make on this one, but won't. Perhaps he'd been walking his dog!?! If anyone asks and looks weird, just say no. He sounds like a typical late night taxi customer hmmm.
It's funny really as you can spend an age trying to eliminate reflections and then they turn out to be quite nice lol
Nice shot of the scenery, the green appears luminescent, like some of those tree frogs or lizards that can change colors. Very picturesque. In the 2nd pic there appears to be some adjustment to the scenery, did you make any changes, the tree trunks, sky and distant trees, slightly cartoonish?!? I'm curious. Looks great. Also, the taillights on the 2012 in Europe appear to be different than the ones we get here. Btw, are those 16" or 17" and who is the manufacturer? Can we have a side shot of the car?
Yeah all those pictures are fairly heavily edited I have heard that the Prius here has some subtle differences to the version in the US. The wheels are 17" and are factory fit. They were standard with the 10th anniversary model here in the UK. A side picture? Here's one without the heavy edit and just for good measure here's one grossly over edited lol
Integrated rear fog light RHD variety and no red side reflectors (though some manufacturers do include those).
