The Slow & The Curious

Yikes!

t started with a pic sent in by GG reader Lisa Howley on Sunday evening…

There it was, a fine Audi, stuck in the sand of the South Beach – having driven through the arches around 6pm – with what looked like its mildly exasperated passengers not quite sure what to do.

Well, come Monday, it was clear that what they decided to do was abandon car, as it was still there when Phil McDarby headed down to the South Beach for his regular morning glory shots.

Keen not to pay Kelly’s €500 rescue fee, the reportedly Polish driver called on a Blanchardstown friend and his Cherokee jeep. Which also got stuck. A second friend couldn’t get their vehicle through the arches. Finally, an online S.O.S. worked early on the Tuesday… 

After that, it was a quick car wash – including that sandy underbelly – at Centra, and then a drive home in deathly silence.
