Well some people have to put money in the parking meters, but as mine is a pedal car I seem to get parking free.
As to how fast I can go, I use to be able to do 10 mph, but as I get a little older I have slowed down a bit, just 5mph.
But my chauffeur got done for speeding, so I had to sack him.

It reminds me of a real story that took place in Denmark some two years ago.
We can drive at the most 110 kilometers per hour on the freeways. So one day the head of the entire Danish Police Force on his way in his car from Århus to Aalborg to an important meeting, he was late, and asked the private chauffeur to Step On It. :grin:
What the Danish Police Chief did not know was that a journalist from a Copenhagen news paper was driving behind his car, who used his cell phone to photograph the car in front of him, with number plates and all - at the speed of 170 kilometres per hour photographing his own speedometer, more than 60 kilometres to fast. He even phoned his paper, while driving and said where he was. The editor at the paper telephoned the Police in Jylland and told about this fast driving car, and it was stopped 20 kilometres south of Aalborg on the free way by Police on bikes.
The next day this story broke the headlines in all the Danish news papers, and also on TV, because the Police had just had the free speed limit decreased, as they said it´s much to dangerous to drive so fast.
This incident the Danish Police Chief chickend out from, by saying: "I had no idea we were driving so fast, I was studying a report and from the back seat of the car, I could not see anything. It´s sad that my chauffeur did not keep the speed limit, he will be replaced".
Chicken, as we say in Denmark, leaving the responsability to his chauffeur, who of course would never drive so fast, had he not been ordered.
