Summertime Driving

Description

Summer's here, and what could be better than going to a party with some friends? (22 of them, to be more precise) Here are some moments of my driving to the party — smoking a bit, and showing off my sunglasses at the end!

Yes, I know, the image is a bit shaky — I don't have anything in my car where I can stabilize the mobile phone. I know — those things are cheap — but I haven't bought them. Yet. So I just use my hands. Now try to drive a car with manual gears while smoking with one hand and holding the phone with the other. Impossible? Naah. It just takes practice — and a fairly straight stretch of the motorway :-)

The bits with the sunglasses on are taken from the "25 de Abril" Tagus Bridge — when built, it was the longest suspension bridge in Europe and the largest outside the US (today it's merely the 27th longest). Look it up, it was built by the same company that built the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, and its concept and design is similar (although much shorter), even though it was built decades later. Unlike the Bay Bridge, the lower deck, finished only about two decades ago, carries electric trains (suburban and long haul); it had always been designed having trains in mind. Ironically, it was painted the same colour as the Golden Gate Bridge (which is about the same length and stands more or the less at the same height but built by a different company and with a distinctively different design) and therefore is often (wrongly) confused with it.

Enough babbling. Now go and enjoy that video!
