Default Re: Thought this might amuse you...

Vehicle access used to be fun in my younger days.
It was an upward sloping drive made of natural compacted gravel with a turning/parking buy at the top.
My great aunt had failed to turn her car correctly and rolled over a seedling bed with leeks in it. She gave up driving about a year later after braking the safety device so that it started in drive

My mom transplanted the surviving leeks to the main bed and then ordered a new garden shed.
The delivery truck driver failed to turn round in one and as usual the rear wheels span and the truck went right into the patch of leeks and sunk up to the axle. It was a brand new truck too.
They had to call a big tow truck to get it out again.
A few of the leeks did make it to the table.
I learned about the quirky sloping driveway before I took my test without getting stuck.
