Pointless? Probably, but I'd love to see the look on people's faces.

maybe it is because I am too big to fit in these smaller than Omega cars [smiley=undecided.gif]

Why have all that money sat around waiting for doors to be opened onto cars such as these by all the others that do not give a damn.

That's the problem with driving anything presentable. However little the money meant to me I'm not sure I could ever bring myself to park a car like that in public, or even spend that sort of money on a "mere" car in the first place.

Nooo! When you cease to "fit in" cars and start to "wear" them instead, is when they start to become fun. A Westfield is what you need.

The thing is I am 6ft 6 my son is 6ft 4 - he gets into an A5 no probs (see my post on A3 gearbox) - I cannot get in it and be comfortable. It has been said of other cars - are you getting out sir or are they dragging it off you?

It could not possibly be a width issue could it?

I tried to get into a 'widebody' Caterham at Anglesey .. I didn't even fit between the transmission tunnel and outside skin, let alone get my ass in the bucket seat  I are teh fat blank.
