The perfect second car…

I love these porkers but im too lofty and  fat muscular to be comfortable. The ex had a Boxster and I could cram myself in but wasnt at all comfortable. The MX5 she had before that I couldn't even close the door without leaning across the centre console, which isnt a practical way to travel!

Seriously, you’d be surprised how roomy and comfortable they are (provided there’s no midget sitting behind you). You can mile munch for hours, mince about round town or attempt to set land speed records. They’re definitely a do it all motor. Often pondered a swap but these tick more boxes than the alternatives… 😃
 
The Wife's new EX40 has 448BHP, 670NM of thrust.

But it's still just a family car. About as exciting as a fridge or toaster to me. It's just white goods, whereas my TurboBrick, the little MX5, these Porkers, the Lotus, all interesting and lovely stuff. They've got pizazz, the X factor, a big dollop of soul.

Conversely a Skoda, as pleasant and worthy as it may be, is also like the fridge - hell, the light even comes on when you open the door!
 
I had a Smart ForTwo for a while when almost all my mileage was by bicycle. Once id folded myself inside it was surprisingly accommodating.
 
No second car, but for short local journeys, and just for sheer fun...no charging, no refueling, just good old fashioned leg power (smooth flat surfaces necessary though):

Plus, they fold up and can be thrown in the back of the van easily :thumbsup:

You must be fighting the birds off with a pointy stick.
 
There you go ladies and gentlemen. The wee man is quick to insult me, but doesn't like it a few weeks later when he gets some back.

What is? Am I missing your previous post? Or is this in relation to someone elses post? (The scooters above? 👆🏻)
