Maybe Diesel Jeans will sponsor? Frank Zappa's kid Dweezil might come?</p> <p>Of course Edinburgh Festival of Diesel is a year round festival. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18811#post-281976 Sun, 06 May 2018 13:38:23 +0000 unhurt 281976@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo maybe rebrand pop up park as part of FoD? Could sell it on ability to breathe diesel fumes and associated particulates in a lovely (maybe not technically a) deckchair while a certified Real Person sings a song in praise of diesel? Labelled cutaway diagrams of the diesel engine to take home? Diesel flavoured ice creams for the kids? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18811#post-281975 Sun, 06 May 2018 12:31:27 +0000 Rosie 281975@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Some overseas friends drove into Edinburgh - parking in the St James Centre, I think.
