Here’s the facing page:
Now no cheating if you already know Dutch; if that’s you, excuse yourself immediately go eat one of those brownies that make you see god’s uncle or whatever. For the rest of us, can that picture and these descriptions give you enough to figure things out? Like, I think the 3. for the windows suggests the windows are plexiglass and maybe “twee kinderen” means something about little kids? Is 6 something about engine access? Is 5 about luggage space? Is the vocabulary here enough to get by, somehow? Take a moment and imagine, please. It’ll be worth it. It’s got a “strong four-stroke engine” according to item 1. I think item 3 is saying that behind the seats there is an empty space that will hold two children (“twee kinderen”) or some luggage, and parenthetically says that “no other autoscooter offers so much room”. Is note 6 “in this bin is the motor, accessible when broken”? For the discerning gentleman who enjoys wearing a shirt and tie with his anorak The simultaneous operation of a life-size lady puppet and sporty autoscooter can take years to master, so please take note of these important safety features:
- The hamster wheel powering your vehicle is a normal wear item and must be regularly inspected, cleaned and re-hamstered to maintain performance. We recommend o.a. gauge hamsters in a light tan color.
- The drivers’ seat may look comfortable, but after 15 minutes in this rattle can you will groan like your grandfather when trying to stand up.
- We advertise this space as both seating and luggage storage, but in truth it is too small for either (I dare you to try cramming an autoscooter in there)
- When headlights or steering columns fall off, store them in the handy storage bins located next to your seat, and push your autoscooter off a cliff.
- Windows will fog up rapidly if you effectively stimulate your lady puppet, so keep a clean, dry cloth handy at all times.
- The engine compartment doubles as a trash can.
- Angry hand gestures should be made via either the vent windows or panoramic sunroof. Use as many swear words as possible for maximum effect.
- The dashboard may look informative, but don’t be fooled: the horn is quieter than your girlfriend’s farts, the clock is right twice a day, and the speedometer needle bends from zero to minus five. Like every Heinkel-made product, you will curse the day you bought this. The shoddy construction of your Heinkel-autoscooter can be blamed on the useless technicians in our Kaziranglian factory. Please direct your angry letters and official complaints to them instead of your Heinkel agent. https://www.fanta.com/products/dragon-fruit-zero-sugar https://smallcarsclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Smyk-02.jpg But I DO watch hours and hours of dutch Citroën DS repair videos on YouTube, because they’re just the best there is, and when seeing the parts and repairs at the same time as hearing the words, I understand most of what is going on anyway 🙂 5 is about windows not luggage space 6 is spot on. Although engine access from the inside is not what I would call a handy feature, keep oily things out of my interior please. It’s worked for me, a guy with Dutch heritage, but no knowledge of the language.
