Small garage, small car, brilliant Belgian driver

Folks, you may know Belgians for their gray demeanour and weather, fabulous fries and superlative beers. You almost certainly know that their driving skills leave a great deal to be desired, being a cocktail of Italian insouciance for road rules and a British inability to handle the bad weather that plagues the country, well, all the time.

So, we let out a whoop of pleasure and admiration for old Eugene, featured in the video which follows, who is able to park his Fiat Panda in his garage…with ust 3 cm to spare on either side!

Seriously, the ingenuity of this gent and how he then manages to get out of his car and into his house puts all those road racers we were praising in a previous post to utter shame.

And in the interests of total disclosure, your correspondent is Belgian too!

Enjoy.
