For Sale

I'm not sure what the issue is, but Argentina has some very old and knackered cars on the roads (most of the really old ones are Peugeot and Citroen; France seems to have found a market for their cars in Argentina earlier than most). I'm not sure if there is a local equivalent of the M.O.T. test, but it certainly isn't enforced. Cars without silencers (mufflers, for my internation audience) are not as rare as one would like (esp. at 2 in the morning) and the fumes kicking out of the buses and lorries is a sight to turn even the most avid Global Warming denier into a fit of remorse, never mind the rest of us.

The sign in the back of this car says "For Sale" (in Spanish, obviously).



A good little runner


I don't know what the spanish for "One Lady Owner" is.
