<< < (4/4)

--- Quote from: "Range Rover Blues" ---There are 3 seatbelts in the back of a Micra, she needs an espace just like I need a Range Rover for my caravan, if not less than I do.

You wouldn't get 3 child seats in the back of a Micra though! Plus, if it's got a passenger air bag, kids can't go in the front either!

Actually, I can't get 3 in the back of my Discovery either! Hence, we got a VW Sharan (= Galaxy).

redneck:
In her defence i will say that she may only have three kids but invariably with kids you tend to not only have them as passengers but also their friends as well  :roll:  three kids can very easily turn into five or six (speaks from experience)  :lol:  :lol:

tomarse:
while I dont like the tax I quite agree with making people not park on the road where possible.
I bought my house (and paid more than other ones nearby) partly because I had a big garden with possibilites to make off road parking.

I physically cant get my 101 out (without offroading it anyhow!) through one of the directions out of my house because the road is too full of cars. Every single house in the road has space to park atleast 2 cars in the front garden if they put the effort into digging/surfacing.

Even where people have drives they often dont park in them. I hate getting stuck waiting for ages to pull round a parked car because someone was too lazy to reverse into their drive.

Too Lazy???
I think you will find incapable is closer to the truth.
That is the problem, nobody should be allowed to drive until they can reverse the most difficult vehicle there licence allows them to (your 101 for instance) :roll:  :roll:
This includes Tin Tents (yes I do own one, 25ft long and my 15 year old son can reverse it almost as well as me)
The fact that you can take your test in a Nissan Micra and then drive a LHD Hummer is ridicules, almost as ridicules as taking your test on a Honda 50 and then ride a Kawasaki Z1300.
That was stopped so why not cars?

The Fat Controller:
i don't have a driveway so as you can see from my signature my range rovers park in the road.on a bad day for my neighbours all three can be there,most days its just two.the series 2a parks out side the garage block four houses away.
i believe with others that your choice of car is your desision,you have to be happy with it even if it is an X5 or ML.
i enjoy using and learning to abuse those vehicles that i love and own
