The beautiful car stopped just in front of the parking space. Then the driver turned his head and very slowly began to reverse his car into the space.

A young man in a Mini came up from behind. He noticed the space and drove straight in. He had got out of his car now and he was laughing, “You have to be young to do that!” 来源：考试大
