Fifth Gear

Well, I think this is the very exact place, where you can leave your car for the night, dummy - in the middle of the most crowded crossing in Veliko Tarnovo! Don`t let yourself to be misled, because you see no traffic around- just the hour is too early and there is no any yet, but just 30 minutes later it will be a nightmare! And just for the record, let me tell you that the car was BMW. An old one. Exactly the kind of cars that some stupid people with enormous self-confidence buy, to show the world how cool they are. They put a registration number with alike figures, for example 6969, or 8888, or 3636 or something (this one was 8686, believe me!) and park wherever it`s convenient for them . Infront of the bar usually...

That made me think about the popular joke in Bulgaria about the VW Golf owners, who have the reputation of being "very clever";), if you know what I mean. To tell the truth, I find that the second hand BMW owners are not very far from this attitude of mind. They behave like "I was in Germany/Austria and I bought this car very profitably! And I am the greatest and the fastest driver ever born on this Earth, so get out of my way! I`m in a hurry... to drink coffee!"

Another specific drivers for me are the Mercedes owners. They insist on showing "I am the big boss", while the Audi ones say "I just got rich and the whole world must know that!". Opel owners are the most conservative; VW-s are usually business (who would buy VW for himself!). The French cars owners live a happy life, while the people who buy Ford usually have absolutely no idea what they are doing.

If you ask me what is the best car for me I would answer that it`s fast, compact, intelligent inside, sexy outside, eco-wise and it`s very likely to be Japanese. Or Swedish ;)

Seeya!

P.S. By the way I have nothing to say about the NEW BMW owners... I have never met one!
