Default Size isn't everything...

...just an observation.

Parked up at work, I am beginning to get dismayed at, well, just how small my car is looking next to all the other giant rep-mobiles. Mondeos, C5s, Insignias, 5 series are getting quite ridiculously massive.

The only place I can trump them (top-trumps, anyone?) is length and my 20" wheels, but other than that, I am beginning to feel a little inadequate. Still, it is nice to see that there are only a very small handful of cars in the 5m+ category (XJ, S-class, Phaeton)

Can anyone recommend some appropriate therapy? I haven't got the spare change for a Flying Spur at the moment.

Try driving one of these as your weekend car! It will soon teach you that size really isnt everything!

E.L.M.O A Mini seems a very powerful argument for precisely the reverse
