Another Vine Mess

The charming Citroen 2CV was never a speed demon at the best of times… and these are NOT the best of times. Indeed, the sitting Citroen above can’t even outrun the local shrubberies who, stating it plainly, well on the way to nosing out RUST at the finish line.

Here’s what happens when you park your car in the midst of a tropical rainforest in… Yorkshire, UK? Wow, global warming’s really getting out of hand! Hard to believe undergrowth can morph into overgrowth so quickly so far north of the equator. Then again, it’s hard to believe there are actually any lime trees growing at so-called “Limetree Farm”.

Seems even urban areas of the UK are under siege by Mother Nature’s green army: take this almost post-apocalyptic tableau from suburban London. Is that a Range Rover under all that greenery? You know what they say: if the Rover won’t go to the range, the range will come for the Rover.

One wonders where the vibrant vegetation is acquiring such sustenance to enable it to practically swallow an SUV… did something crawl under the parked vehicle and never reemerge? Even more disturbing, did whomever park the car fail to exit their eventual prison/tomb, only to be reincarnated botanically? Sounds like a case for Sherlock Holmes… or Jordy Verrill.

Finland, you say? Looks more like Fernland, amiright? Any way you slice it, it’s only natural a bug – by VW or not – will sooner or later find its way back to nature. That said, being this IS a classic VW Type 1 “Beetle”, a turn of the key is about all that’s needed to fire this baby-blue Teutonic beastie right up.
Next time you return to your parked car only to find a yellow parking ticket under the windshield wiper, consider that things could be much, much worse… instead of a little yellow, you might find a whole lot of green!
