I hear you on that one - our main car's a big Astra Estate (with effectively no boot since it's dogged up) and in the last year it's had its entire front brake system rebuilt because they'd completely siezed, and then failed it's MOT pretty spectacularly - it's cost well over a grand in the last 12 months in repair bills - I told the garage that no offence but I'd rather not see them again for a good few months!

This one's horrible to drive but failed its MOT good and proper and my mum paid for all the work needing doing on the rollerskate so hopefully it should keep going for a while longer!

Looks even funnier if you factor in a 6 foot 7 husband unfolding himself out of the passenger seat at the destination too.

Haha "husband unfolding himself!!!"

We took an Akita and lots of luggage up to Scotland many times in my old saxo! And here's an Akita in a mini!



Haha! He wasn't meant to be there, just climbed in (then wouldn't get out!) The towel was there ready to lay some big climber plants on I was going to take through to my mums, must have thought it was for him!

Awww bless - mine likes to sit behind the steering wheel if possible (hence us buying the dog bars for the main car)! Have come back from the loos in motorway service areas - having left dog in charge of man to water and wee... to find dog sat chilling in the front passenger seat and bloke stood there with a bowl of water and a totally uninterested dog!

That did conjure up a lovely picture I should buy the dog a cap to complete the look

hahahaha! All this puts me in mind of passing my Uncle James (a good 6ft 3) driving a weeny wee Mini-estate (remember them!) and he was sitting in the drivers seat with his head on one side cause he couldn't sit up straight!

SOOOOO funny!
