In the years that I have had my car, the only damage that I have ever suffered has been caused by other people…… whilst my car has been parked! And, of course, not one person has come forward to admit any sort of liability. Door dinks, bumps and a couple of scratches, all from car parks.

At Castro Martin we are quite fortunate that when Angela’s father built the Bodega over 30 years ago, he had the foresight to include a loading area for trucks, and also a generous area for parking. Until now this was simply an open area of concrete, and parking was simply a free-for-all – you parked your car where you could squeeze it in (and with Angela around, that was never going to be the best arrangement – for vehicle safety purposes). Suffice to say that she has a bit of a reputation for bumping into things, and suffers horribly from walls and posts that have a habit of reversing out in front of her!

Anyway, after painting an exterior wall the other day, we had a bit of white paint left over, and decided to paint some ‘official’ parking bays. We have made sure that each space is very generous so that even Angela has no excuse for causing any door dinks!!
