its a nice thing to look at sat on the driveway at least!

I’m going to be going to my new office by car from 1 April, even if it’s only me there. I’m spending a lot of money buying a business; I think doing so then running it from home is a recipe for disaster!

Fortunately it’ll be well capitalised and there’s still plenty of work to do.

Got the registration document through today so I put my plates on.





Bloody hard to get a photo which shows it properly because it's so long. Probably Stagea length.

Ace!!

So longer than an S65

Surprised when i checked that a 6 GC is bigger still than the CLS Shooting Brake by 51mm

And a (SWB) F01 is another 65mm beyond that ! 5072mm.

So forum Top Trumps - whose is the longest ? Any advance on 5072 ?

My T4 - a LWB Longnose - would have been 5189 but I don't have it any more.

That’s a surprise - as is Steve’s 7-series. Explains why the CLS hasn’t felt like it protruded too far in parking spaces.

And yet I'd be gobsmacked if you could fit even a 2-step step ladder in a 6GC's boot

If we still had Exiges he could wave his previously owned 5840mm-ish RRPhantom at us.

Someone on here has a proper camper van. That will surely win ?

Ours is 7005cm but it's not too good on the commute, stepladder transportation isn't a problem though

Presumably when doing the “ready meal test” to show off the space inside, you could just stick them straight in the microwave?

I thought I'd be in with a shout with the Galaxy, but it is a paltry 4.84m long.

It's probably not too bad.

The F01 seats don't fold, so no chance of getting a full ladder in, but one of those 2-step things fits OK, with plenty of space for custard.

I thought hampers were the ov9 unit of measure for boot space?

Christ, why have I been trying to do it with dead bodies then???

I blame Mark_BT52.
