Crashing Baywatch
I started to tell a funny story once happened to me to the people I meet here recently. Most of my friends at home know it already but for all who don't know here it comes.
Five years ago I went on a trip to Los Angeles with two of my best girlfriends. We got our booked rental car at the rental office. It was a big white van with only 70 miles on the meter. We were really excited. First we headed to Santa Monica to see the beach and seaside. We passed the Baywatch Headquarters and spontanously decided to go there. So, we made a u-turn and got on a parking lot. and went over the spikes. Unfortunaly in the wrong direction but just with the front tires.
We stopped immediately. I sat in the back and looked out the window. Right next to the car under the window, out of the sight of the driver, was a yellow post. I screamed but it was too late. The car hit the post and scratched the side. We all yelled. Uli tried to get away from the post while Jule and I pushed down the spikes to protect the back tires.
We were in a little shock as we arrived the Baywatch Headquarters - unsure if our tires will get flat and with a big yellow scratch along the whole side. We were really upset and asked a policeman if he can help us. But he excused himself with 'Sorry, I'm just an actor.' So, we sat on the beach waiting if the tires will change and finally, we saw David Hasselhoff sitting on the balcony of the Headquarters. We took a picture of him and after a while without getting flat tires we returned the van to the rental office. We had to make circles on a report for the insurance company which pieces were affected. There were a lot of circles on this sheet. But the insurance covered everything and we got a new car, which was even better than the first one.
Korrekturen
Phil hat Baywatch Headquarters nicht verstanden
Der Uebersetzer hat U-Turn gelobt und rental office instead of rental station vorgeschlagen.
Joe said - all Germans like David Hasselhoff. Not exactly, um Marco und seinen Fund zu zitieren. ;-)

wo steht das Baywatch Headquarter? Würde es auch gerne sehen, wenn ich in L.A. bin.
