Wednesdays observations: Otley street, Rolleston Ave, Worcester Boulevard

Otley Street

EMT79 puffer jacket, yeah it is a bit chilly today

RY2324 unnaturally clean

AFT414 two pairs of sunglasses and a stack of re-usuable bags. Also Guano –that stuff actually etches the paint if you don’t clean it off quickly (or is that an urban myth?)

TG6Ø21 sunscreen and an eraser...the eraser is unusual kit for a car, do you often need to revise your notes while driving? Or is this the car of someone who sketches?

EBN181 tasteful tartan umbrella and a set of non slip mats, here is a person always prepared for too much water above and below.

DUY332 there is a Sponge Bob Square Pants fan in this family

MU998 there is a carburettor and drive chain sitting in the tray, they look like they have been there for a while.

TG4983 food wrappers

EPA529 ‘V’ drinker who stores there shopping receipts in the console, petrol discount vouchers I would think.

XG8536 AA member and sugar addict

AMZ747 the only sign of personality is a red oak leaf decoration hanging on the rear vision mirror

BQU2Ø5 there is an MP3 player plugged in, obviously likes music while they are driving

BHB473 there is LOTS of stuff in the back, obviously likes Diet Coke in industrial quantities

PX9221 petrol can in the back seat, is that for the lawn mower or does the petrol gauge not work properly?

PJ9664 this is a working man’s car; gumboots, tools and rain gear

TM7753 Gym kit complete with used towel

XB9948 passenger foot well is used as a rubbish bin

ASU74Ø soup pan and towel. Interesting combination!

UR8Ø18

CTY1ØØ Child booster seat

RP8266 child seat, maps and shopping dockets

DZZ674 a copy of “Leaving the World” by Douglas Kennedy with a bookmark halfway through.

DNB931 torn seat covers, serious off-roader with exhaust extension for river crossing

Rolleston Ave

BKB631 child's chair in the boot – not a plastic K Mart one but a well made miniature of a lounge chair. Also a box of toys.

DTQ94

NX9070

BK5515
stretched canvas in a big plastic bag in the boot, looks like a commercial print, I can’t see the image but it has a lot of pinks and lavenders. There are also purple floral designs on the seat covers

DSE383 heavy duty people mover -7 seater- clean as a whistle

CUK537 two soft drink cups with straws in the back seat cup holders, someone has taken the kids out for a treat

BWK3Ø2 two child seats, a basinet and a toddler size

DQN333 has crotcheted seat covers on all the seats -9 in all a neatly bundled bag of food rubbish inside- looks like a tour bus of people have gone to the Botanic Gardens

Worcester Boulevard

XK14Ø3
muddy 4WD with big tidy bins in the back, they listen to The Rock 93.7FM

I JOC I just a tidy kit of maps on the passenger seat

ZZ1178 tartan picnic blanket, lots of food crumbs on the seats but no rubbish

ZY3Ø93 there is a model racing car on the back seat, maybe a Lamborghini, it’s white with go faster red stripes

AJR764 organised people mover, it has a pink toy bag hanging on the back of the passenger seat where the toddler in the booster seat can reach it.

DD7964 silver, big, expensive. Still got that new car smell I bet.

CET193 silver saloon

EHC21Ø another silver saloon

BMJ151 a plumbing contractor with lots of lengths of pipe on the roof rack

YH6336 A double cab with exhaust extension and serious bull-bars

DDQ5Ø silver people mover

DDG88 silver saloon

FBC862 ANOTHER silver people mover

XU74Ø8 antimacassar headrest covers and ribbon decoration, like an extension of the sitting room at home. ..climbing roses or a dried flower arrangement of some sort would not be out of place.

RF6Ø31 a novel by Larsson on the seat and a floral mat in drivers foot well

BRH33Ø a big Griffin’s Biscuit tin and Glade air freshener

WX3637 sports cap and a box of gear

UQ9756 has got a roof rack kitted out to carry Kayaks, has been converted to LPG...do people still do that?

ALK579 ubiquitous silver saloon

CSF714 this vehicle has four booster seats in it...FOUR! that is just heroic.

DEP743 a battery kit on the back seat and a none too clean hanky

EGG2Ø5 poser 4WD for going shopping in

WJG610 a little white hatchback

JP5183 this is a rarity, a little classic white mini (with a dented front bumper and a few spots of rust, but still a wee beauty). The problem with having classic and unusual cars is that the parking attendants’ also notice them...this one has a parking ticket. None of the MANY silver saloons in this block do, is this a coincidence? I vote anyone who maintains a classic car on the road should get automatic free parking -as long as they are driving that car.

EDF79Ø a commercial cleaners van, obviously hard at work somewhere around here

XG59Ø9 there is a lot of guano marking an otherwise exceptionally beautiful high tech paint finish...deep rich green

DRU205 another poser 4WD, no sign of any recreational or work use

EMA440 an AA member with a disability parking permit

EMA896 Silver people mover AAAAARGH!!!

BMJ225 its a hatchback not a saloon...but it is silver
I give up
