    Now this is cool, and is in keeping with the Brexit depravity, mad max induced blonde ambition vibe. Greta wouldn't be happy, but bygones.

    How do you get anything inside when you need to go somewhere?

    We couldn't even get a pram in the back without folding the seats down (both fold at once) - then you can't get a child seat in!

    When we had our kids for the first 2 years we had a Golf (with a roofbox) and we managed to go camping with a decent sized tent and all the ancillaries. Yes, we had to get a very cheap, very small, folding buggy for the youngest just for such trips as out Phil & Ted's was just too large to fit at all. The cheap buggy folded up like a large umbrella with wheels that went on top of the sleeping bags stuffed into the footwells behind the front seats.


    Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

    Maybe not so cool, but it would be useful for removing insulate Britain idiots off the road.
    Which is far more illegal than what the protestors are doing. I imagine its not road legal either... ;)

    Was in Houston a couple of years ago before heading out to the jungle and came upon a small car show in a car park where this was.

    Tuned Corvette engine in it......

    Some presenters are cool, some are not. Some cars are cool, some are not.
    People's definition of what is cool varies. Some people don't care about cool.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Bit out of date, no?

    Fast cars are cool. Always have been. Always will be. Who doesn't want to be a racing driver when they grow up?

    You've got a censored car haven't you?
    Ha yes, totally. 2015 0.9L polo.

    I'm with Rick on this - though I'm not sure I'd class a 2015 Polo as a sh!t car quite yet - until our last two I'd never spent more than £2k on a car in my life and I've had a couple for £50 (each - not the pair).

    Me. Though still hoping not to grow up. I blow raspberries for a living (and teach other people to), and ride bikes.

    This is inconceivable. You didn't HAVE to want to be Nigel Mansell you know. You could have wanted to be Stirling Moss or James Hunt.

    Might have been something to do with my dad hating driving and never having owned a car (though he could drive, and taught me). I don't dislike it to the same extent, but cars are just useful things in some circumstances. Sorry to break it to you...

    I just wanted to play the trumpet. I leave the astronaut stuff to 90yo's like William Shatner.

    Nah, never wanted to be a racing driver either. I delayed learning to drive until I had to for work as I really didn't want the responsibility. I've always been very acutely aware of just how easy it is to kill someone in a car.

    i have a drawer full of knives in the kitchen but I've always eaten.

    So you're saying that you put off driving because you were scared of killing someone?
