in the street where i live there are many of those tourist shops with cheap so-called 'Scottish' tatt in them! mind, they are always full of tourists buying.
we also have a bit of a floor show - or should it be street show. sometimes one of the owners of all the shops turns up in his fancy car, parks it on the street. first of all a few people will be seen photographing the car. more people will stop and look, one or two even dare to touch. the owner will appear and eventually you will see someone being allowed to sit in the driver's seat while their friend takes a picture of them, surrounded by the crowd that has grown quite considerably. then naturally there will be one or two other people who will want to be photographed in said driver's seat. and so it goes. eventually the crowd thins. eventually the car sits quietly parked, its owner gone on to other business.
i know there are two cars this time, i think the owners might be brothers, but it is usually the soft top that all the commotion happens around.
no crowd, yet.
but it doesnt take long.
there; last photo, crowd thinning.
this way
and back..
