I somehow wedge myself into a Corolla hatchback đź‘Ť

I always used to laugh at how huge people drove small cars. Now the jokes on me

When anyone makes fun of you, just apply the following section of a simpsons episode.

Nelson: Ha Ha!

Very Tall Man Driving A Beetle: Do you find something amusing about my appearance when I am driving my automobile?

Nelson: Yeah.

VTMDB: Dwah? Everyone needs to drive an automobile, even the very tall. This is the largest automobile I could afford. Do you still find this amusing?

Nelson: Uh huh.

VTMDB: Would you like it if I laughed at your misfortune?

Nelson: I guess so.

V.T.M.D.B. pulls down nelsonÂ’s pants and places him in front of his car then gets in and starts driving behind him.

VTMDB: look everyone! Its that boy whoÂ’s always laughing at everyone!

Crowd: HA HA!

VTMDB: Wave at the people! Blow them kisses!

Nelson: Wah Wah!

Damn I wear US 13 / 14 shoe size. And them sizes are hard to find unless you order them through the net.
 
I am either 5'-12" or 6'-0" I can't remember. I always get those confused, oh well. Luckily for me they were consided as the same option.
 


I used to work for am internet car selling comp in the UK and they had a HUGE compound with thousands of cars, here goes the list of what Ive tried to fit in.

Pug 206 CC - I got in, shut the door to find that my knee was lodged inbetween the steering wheel and the door handle !!! So my leg was suspended in mid-air swinging around near the accelarator !!! The3 same happened in one of the new Toyota MR2's.

I managed to fit in and successfully drive the new shape MGTF - which was nice !!

One day we delivered an S2000 to a customer and he part ex'd a Cerbera !!!!!!! It was on a P reg, not very looked after with 60k on the clock, and we only gave him ÂŁ11,000 for it !!!!

So yeah I fit in and drove it which was amazing to drive - Im quite glad I fit as the Cerbera is my dream car, which I will own soon if all goes to plan.

Ive had trainers shipped over from www.eastbay.com before - they were cheaper than here but the n the cost of shipping took the price up to the normal cost of them here so I didnt lose out.

Ah. My cousin told me about that site and I forgot about it by the time I got home. ;)
 
Well the Polo belongs to Rachel (g/f) so its a girls car. Its excellent !! Theres so much body roll and the tyres are that underinflated you can screech the wheels (on some smooth tarmac on a hot day) at like 15 MPH !!!

Methinks you've got something suspension wise gone array then, mine feels nice and solid in the corners not much body roll at all. I probably own the most aggressively driven Polo in London.

Probably.
 
I'm 6" or 6"1 something like that, and I know what you mean about finding shoes, I'm a size 13 and its really hard finding shoes I actually like that are my size.

You've driven the polo to the dirt haven't ya?

It's not hard to be the most Aggressive, seeing as the majority of people who own them are Women and old people. I know of a riced up one, but it's just a 1000cc so he's just a poser.

Boo, I drive a 4 door one. I drive a girls car, it's awesome.

I'm 6'1 6'2... I drive the ultimate girls car... A Suzuki Cappuccino... it's my girlfriends... and I fit in it like a glove... I imagine anyone taller wouldn't be able to... but I'm just the right size with the seat all the way back!!!

I've heard those things are mental, they weigh almost nothing. Never seen one though, although i've seen a Honda beat.
 
They are...

They weigh about 700KG... have 64 BHP...

And do 0-60 in 8 seconds...

The engine is fantastic...

657cc, 3 cylinders with DOHC and 4 valves per cylinder, Multi point fuel injection and a turbo... and revs to 9500 RPM!

It can also do 200 miles on a tenner!! (If you drive without activating the turbo!)

And the roof comes off in 3 pieces and fits in the boot!!

They also have supreme handling & traction... that is unless you get it all wrong outside McDonalds and spin it 180!! Oops!! They must have spilt some chip fat on the road I think!!

Looks like I'm the runt in this group. I'm about 5'6" to 5'7" (depends who's measuring). I haven't grown an inch in over 3 years.
