No.2 Slot

 

Sweet Jesus! 

This isn't the greatest gap the world, there is no slope, it's uneven and you could probably get a bus into the air off the front end but we at 100% Awesome love it and what we love about this reverse is the story behind it. 

This is a student area near the Whiteladies Road in Bristol, it's prime spot for super-tight gaps especially between rush hours when you have shoppers, students and office workers all competing for the same patch of turf. According to his email, Carl Nougat, had pretty much given up the hunt and was putting his Peugeot into a disappointing 8 meter drive-in, when a Smart Car pulled out of the line leaving this "more interesting" sized hole. 

Sadly before he could get out of his space, a beautiful 19 year old student switched on her indicator and started making a few attempts. After she repeatedly failed, Carl, ever the gentleman, stepped in... offering his easy spot in exchange for the challenge of spot number 2.

"You'll never make it," said the grateful student... but make it he did! 

Apparently the girl was so impressed by his feather-light clutch-control that she hung around to watch and even gave him a round of applause when he was done. ( Reportedly jumping up and down in a tight top and short plaid skirt.) Carl said it was a dream come true. 

Unfortunately the Student (who refused to have her name or image used on this blog) later revealed that she had a boyfriend. On a happier note she did tell chivalrous Carl that he could be number two on her list, should she ever break up with her boyfriend.

'It ain't no thing' said Carl playing it cool, 'I'm second on a lot of girl's lists'

I think this little story proves beyond any doubt that there is no better feeling in the world than being watched by and attractive girl as the front end of your car swings into a perfect line with the car in front and your rear bumper draws level, just a millimetre away from the car behind. 

It's positively beatific.
