This was something the Boxster was wonderful for, it fitted very easily into parking spaces making it an ideal town car.

I echo this. But substitute with a Galaxie & a MINI

Speaking of which, I took it out for a spin today, and it seems to run fine on the petrol/diesel mix I siphoned out of the old MINI.

Stick a bit of 2 stroke oil in for good measure

This is length rather than girth, but spotted this in Sainsbury’s car park today. I looked as I walked past, that really is the amount of space it needed.

I bet it was all the width as well

It’s not even a Stagea

It’s only foreshadowing what the size of the average family car will be in 15 years time.
I got a hand me down TV from my parents a few months ago, and because of the silly size of the Defender rear door/boot I couldn’t fit it in without snapping the tv in half so my dad said he’ll deliver it when he has time which is coincidently later this evening.

I may update the thread with a suitably silly parking picture later.

I kinda want one

NO

When I was looking at cars a couple of months ago there was a 90’s right hand drive Chevy blazer that kept coming up in searches for about £1500 that I had to talk myself out of a couple of times. I just kept telling myself a 4.3l v6 (with a massive 160hp ) and daily driving don’t really go together

NO

Quad cab long bed = 249.7" = 6.34m. Near exactly a metre longer than my Galaxie

Fits like it was made for it

I would be surprised is no answer. I EXPERIENCE all the time the reality.

Of course it's an answer. If you want a more direct one, I call bullshit on them being smaller than the standard. Pics with a tape measure or else it's bobbins.

Is that the rise you were looking for?

I'm going back with a tape measure just for you.

Have you got the tape measure out yet?

Meatloaf.

Sorry, been busy

I will actually do this when I'm next there.

My x5 is 130mm shorter and 30mm narrower than the current m3

I meant it as a "...but I won't do that" reference. Skippy here isn't going to go out and measure parking spaces to prove himself wrong.

Oh, sorry I wondered if it was a reference to Broccers parking in a dogging spot to find paradise by the dashboard light.

Also more efficient on useable volume than the equivilant estate.

Dave!
