Oto Yikama, Karaköy

Pimapen-style Oto Yikama (car wash), Karaköy, containing brushes, buckets and wellies, chairs and an Ataturk photograph.

This proto-kiosk is to be found in what was last year a location for the new blockbuster film "Argo", directed and starring Ben Affleck. The film has courted much controversy for its cavalier approach to the facts and sees a group of six plucky yet hapless US consulate staff smuggled out of Tehran posing as a Canadian film crew scouting for locations for a sci-fi film in Iran. You can't make this stuff up. (Actually you can – and Affleck did. Ed)
