Jerry, that is the best way to find parking in a major city I've ever heard, 
especially if the dealer had lent you the 2 CV as well!!!!

Alastair,

In 1957, as soon as we drove into Paris , where I was going to live for 
a while, I did not trust my brand new Porsche 1500 Carrera (the 4 cam 
one) to
be parked in the streets. I took it in to the Porsche dealer with a long 
list of phony complaints  I rented a 2 CV which had 2 doors and was 
shorter than
the ones I have seen in pics here..  We parked it at right angles to the 
kerb!  It was adequate for Paris.

Jerry
