Tuesday’s observations: South City Mall carpark

UJI793  this person likes animals, they have a sheep toy dangling from their rear vision mirror and paw print seat covers

ZF8884  a work horse of a wagon, the back is clearly used regularly to haul stuff around. It looks like it has had a load of firewood recently

BAE221  Black glossy paintwork and maroon velour seat covers. There are muddy little cat footprints all over the bonnet.

AWL143  the car of a very practical person; loaded with sacks bags and other potentially useful objects

DYL715  stylish little hatchback with a disability permit

ZQ338ø Big roomy comfortable looking seats, a car for somebody who likes to drive on the open road.

TANA  a whimsical touch in the form of a plastic daffodil tucked into the dash

EYY778  very clean, no rubbish or any personal belongings, just a small bag on the back seat

BP5572  brand new High Definition TV in the boot and a lovely pacific woven bag in the passenger foot-well...perhaps a hedonist?

CEP776  adventure junkies: headlight covers for off-road and jet-ski on the roof-rack, mud spattered from a recent trip. Big 4wd is a bit overkill for a trip to the supermarket...lots of adventure to be had in this carpark. Not.

DAA315  these people can’t have driven far, there are still white blossom petals stuck to the bonnet and roof. I guess they park under a tree at home.

ZL4666  likes the colour burgundy. There are a lot of tissues, papers and old water bottles on every seat except the drivers –I would guess they don’t usually have passengers.

ZI3358  very sunburned trim, the front bumper almost looks sandblasted from miles of driving.

AFS417  is covered in yellow stamen pollen and petals front to back, like a dusty haze of gold over the black paintwork. Also lots of small stones embedded in the tyre tread.

UB4ø1ø  there is a botanical theme developing today, this one has large kowhai petals on it; bright yellow on midnight blue paintwork...nice.

SF34ø9  another family wagon

ESL825  This big low slung van looks like a refugee from ‘Pimp my Ride’ it has a body kit and custom pin-striping.

SK6826  Cat footprints, children’s drawings, a pile of film books on the back seat with a copy of ‘Post production’ on top and a harmonica. I’d like to meet this person.

DMH3ø6  passed it’s AA inspection and got shat on by a couple of birds.

OP7974  needs a clean but looks homely there are papers strewn on the parcel tray

EJC826  contains one box of tissues and a car seat, recently cleaned inside and out.

EQZ252  this car is so new it has no personality at all. It is the first hybrid I have ever seen though.

AZM927  a rumpled pile of clothes in the back seat, I wonder who got changed in the car and why?

BZZ2ø2

UA9287
empty

BKD268  has a steering lock. It’s very muddy and has interesting looking equipment cases in the back...some kind of agricultural fieldwork?

AMG839  fluffy seat covers, blanket and babyseat combination, looks very cosy

AWE331  Asian Kitsch -probably Korean because there is Hangul text on the seat cushion shaped like a bear. Also has sparkly love heart chimes hanging off the rear vision mirror. Some garden tools in the back.

DNQ497  Another plastic daffodil in the front console –I guess the cancer Society has been collecting recently.

EDJ885  there is a half consumed fruit smoothie and some cloth reusable bags

ELU957  there is a mileage sheet on the passenger seat, business trip obviously

AS75ø5 completely clean and empty

TJ3965 electrical tradesmen stopping at the supermarket...it is smoko time so his boss shouldn’t mind

EF5819  a small yellow elephant toy is sticking its trunk out of the console

BSG514  contains the usual set of things to make a driver more comfortable

RSS681  there is a cushion on the driver’s seat and a scrunchy hair tie on the gearstick. I’m guessing a female driver of short stature with long hair.

XL8277  several parking dockets on the dashboard, obviously been running a few errands around town. There is a very nice woven bag.

ZI9755  another very nice woven shopping bag

DJC382  recent rust work, someone is going to a lot of effort to keep this lovely little Triumph Toledo on the road. Not so many people bother to fix up older cars anymore.

DQC971  unusual green colour. A very organised person with a diary and file box on the back seat.

BTT426  kids smeary finger-marks on the back windows, looks like a messy ice-cream adventure.

RR9953  remains of many outings in every part of the car, not rubbish –just stuff: books toys sandals and water bottles.

DWG5øø  they like MacDonald’s food and the car to smell nice...seems to me it might be difficult to manage both of these things at once

YX4821  an older VW, someone’s workhorse of a car . It’s neat but has torn seat-covers –no time to worry about such things maybe.

AAF2ø7

BUB371

YA9657
  this is third characterless silver saloon in a row. Banality is excellent camouflage.

EUH496

EGJ857
  there is a huge box of toys in the back of this work truck, is the kid coming to stay for the holidays?

CYM452  has a monkey toy hanging from the rear vision mirror and several suits hanging in the back...a professional man with a sense of humour, or maybe just grandkids.
