    Right – currently test driving an L200, not sure if it fits on my parking space.

    Is that okay would you say, or is the overhang too much into the lane?

    I wouldnt call that a car, and it looks like it overhangs the double yellow lines, so I am guessing, legally, your not in the space.

    not sure if it fits on my parking space.

    That’ll be a no!

    Yeah – that was my thought… looks like it is back to the drawing board! They used to do a shorter version which would have been fine!

    Still, they don’t want it back for a few hours yet so a wee drive around the Lakes I think!

    Big no. Stupid vehicle for all but a narrow range of applications.

    It fits my narrow range of applications molgrips, the absolute only reason I was considering it.

    If I drove one of those I’d be like a 90yr old on the rampage 😯

    Didn’t take long did it.

    What about if someone just ‘wants’ one?

    To be fair my Suzuki Grand Vitara is a better drive, but not ideal for the amount of stuff I need to lug around over fields.

    May have to look at some of the bigger soft roaders (Hyundai Santa Fe is getting good reports, and should have about enough 4×4 ability to get me down farm tracks and over the occasional bit of field).

    Shame really – the tax on this was a lot kinder! But needs to be a family car too so can’t get away with anything like a Defender 😉

    I reckon there’s enough give in that garage door for it to fit in the space.

    Lol – that is touching as it is 😉 Reverse until you hear the crunch technique!

    If I could buy the other 3 garages in that row then things would be grand, but they aren’t for sale and at £15k a pop…. (garages are in very short supply in these parts, and parking is a nightmare, so they attract a premium!)

    Doesn’t make it any less appropriate 🙂

    Wanting things has got the whole world in a lot of trouble. I’m as guilty as anyone else.
