A long, long time ago, I was reading a book of shopping center architecture which included a Californian car park with "ghost" cars that had been buried under the tarmac, leaving car-shaped bumps. That was pretty neat, and I guess somehing like the effect you are striving for.-- DrCurry, Aug 26 2004 [ bwv61] I was thinking maybe for escaping from a rain drenched muddy field at a music festival.-- skinflaps, Aug 27 2004 How do you stop people parking on top of you?-- st3f, Aug 27 2004 Carry a No Parking sign.-- skinflaps, Aug 27 2004 That'd do it.-- st3f, Aug 27 2004 I could 'av done with one of these for Glastonbury.-- murder, Aug 27 2004 [bwv61] as earlier mentioned I invision this when the ground is a trench of wet soil and a area of tarmac is an availiable option,road cones could be a option though.-- skinflaps, Aug 27 2004 What?
You've got something on your back you can use to bury a tent under the tarmac?
I think you should just make the top of the tent look like a fire hydrant.-- ye_river_xiv, Jul 17 2009 hey.. aren't car-parks the favorite hunting ground of all the creepiest thieves, rapists, and murderers that your mom & CNN warned you about?-- afinehowdoyoudo, Jul 17 2009 random, halfbakery
