LOL there are some advantages to being single after all.... my RCZ is just for me

Today was not a good day for the car tho... managed to bounce the front o/s alloy off the base of a parking barrier. Took a nice chunk out of the tyre and a 2" score on the rim itself. Just hoping the tyre hasn't suffered more than cosmetic damage

There's a guy who lives local and offers a mobile alloy repair, if you need his number I can drive by where his van normally sits and get it for you :thumbup:

2 difficulties here - firstly, couldn't get the 407 into the garage anyway (nor the 207, actually). So the new RCZ is sadly going to be ungaraged, which worries me a little.
Secondly, is the only remaining resident (5' 10") going to be able to get into the back?

My cars have all had to stay outside the garage as it's between two gable walls and is only suitable for a mini or a convertible with the roof down so that you can climb out! :lol: As for the back seat, I think your 5'10" person will have serious difficulties getting in and out. :crazy: Watch the autoexpress review on youtube and you'll see the presenter in the back :lol:

I'm 5'11'' and (just about) managed to get in the back of our local dealer's showroom car - it was a squeeze, and there wasn't much headroom, but I reckon it would be bearable for the occasional short journey.

Hi Maf, good to know in case I'm asked to give anyone a lift. It would be a tad embarrassing to have to just leave them there and send out food parcels

I looked at a TT before opting for the RCZ. I tried the same trick with that. I got in, but strictly speaking I can't claim I was sitting in it (I ended up laying across the bench).

Then, to add insult to injury, I didn't think I was going to be able to get out - thought my wife was going to have to buy the car to get me home :roll:

LOL have to say I bought the car strictly as a two seater... I wouldn't even expect my wee dog to put up with a back seat that small!!

Yeah, bypass for sure. I might have to get out of bed earlier :crazy: once my baby arrives so that I can use the main roads and avoid potential punctures on the B roads. Mini meet looming close
