Red wine engine. The fictional story that marked our April Fools' Day

Anonim

The times we live in demand two things: responsibility and a sense of humour. The first for us to do what is required, the second for us to withstand this period in the best way possible.

This is how Razão Automóvel's team faces daily work in the newsroom, which now, as a matter of civic responsibility, is working teleworking.

Contingencies that are the result of the pandemic crisis of the new coravirus, but that did not rob us of our sense of humour.

That's why yesterday, on April 1st, April Fools' Day, Manuel Bobine was born, an Alentejo man with heart and soul, with 50 years of life and a mechanic by profession for over 40 years. If you don't know him yet:

I want to meet the mechanic Manuel Bobine

A fictional character, who has a car workshop in the friendly parish of Vila Alva, in Beja, and who became famous for having invented a red wine combustion engine.
