Posted on 23/03/2007 by alex_galmeanu

Ce ciudata imi pare imaginea asta, parca ceva nu se potriveste. Cum de au incaput astia doi intr-o trasura? Cum de nu s-au rupt rotile? Oare este amuzant? Mie imi vine sa rad…

Cum ar fi fost sa il vedeti cu aparatul la ochi pe aleile din Drumul Taberei sau mai bine in magazinul Big Berceni din Piata Sudului. Pai daca ati fi fost ceva mai atenti prin 1975 l-ati fi observat cu siguranta pentru ca Henri … Continue reading →
