Runaway Car

Apologies for this post not going live on Friday.

Today we had our second visit from Cheapskates, which involved practicing on various modes of transport such as inline skates and skateboards.  This time round there was much more action on the ramp and it was good to see the progression of skills from last time. While my personal skills are no better, a number of students listened carefully to the advice given and made visible improvements.  Of course there were some who were great from the start and their next step is to compete at the X-games.

The afternoon got even more interesting when a silver Alfa Romeo was spotted sailing down the road; driverless. This caused much excitement and when it stopped all of a sudden outside our gate, the theories abounded as to what might have happened.  In the end the owners were found dining at She Cafe and were most surprised to hear what had happened.  We believe the culprit is a dodgy handbrake, although how the car managed to avoid a car parked in front of it and why it stopped as it was rolling down the hill is anybody's guess! The couple were most appreciative of our noticing and informing them, another good deed by the children of Governors Bay School.
