Did a roadside oil change round the corner from my house (the flattest point nearby).
Got an amusing array of interest. One grumpy old bloke rudely asked what I was doing, while his wife tittered hysterically telling me to ignore him. I promised not to make a mess and explained that it was in my interest to do it cleanly.
Then a neighbour of his pulled by in his 90s e320, and enthusiastically asked what I was upto, and if I needed a hand. We had a chat, he introduced himself and said I should come round for a drink so we could chat about cars.
And then a little french girl came by with her parents and exclaimed
“Oh non, c’est casse!”
But I was able to explain in broken french “c’est normal, je change l’huile - c’est bon for la voiture”
And then her mum explained how she almost lost her license during her provisional period in France because she crashed it drink driving. Fun times.
