Nipped out for a takeaway tonight, took the wife's Astra (she'd been out & it was nice & warm).
After driving dobbin for a few months, you forget that you need a soddin shoehorn to get into the average saloon.
You forget that you bang your head on the roof.
You forget that the gear knob is down by your ankles.
You forget you need a winch to get you out because your backside is 2" off the ground.
WTF. And to think how many thousands of miles I drove that dinky toy before I discovered the cavernous dobbin.
Any wonder we use the dobbin for ALL our holidays?
Road tax might be a shade dearer (£140) but having the room to stretch out is worth the extra few quid.
