Local woman Ava Morrison has just successfully executed a reverse park of medium difficulty outside a busy French Quarter café.

Reports from the café say that Ava’s sigh of relief could be heard over the general café hum and even the coffee machine.

Prior to Ava’s arrival, customers at the busy café had the joy of watching a previous driver try and fail to park in the spot, as one woman explains.

“Oh, it was fantastic! They must have had at least 4 goes at getting in there”

“Then they gave up and drove away”

“That’s the best, seeing them give up and drive away with their tail between their legs”

It’s this exact attitude that warranted Ava’s loud and lengthy sigh as she turned off the ignition.

It’s believed that Ava, who waited until she was 25 to get her L plates, had the added stress of two male friends in the car, one of whom she was hoping to make more than a friend.

“Oh my god. I’m so happy I nailed that park”

“I probably would have just got out and left it if I didn’t”

“I don’t need that stress, especially when I’m trying to impress Tiago”

It’s hard work catching the eye of a Portuguese stud, but Ava says her expert parking skills may have given her the upper hand she needed to begin her courting phase with Tiago.

More to come.
