came across this one on FB

I was at an event yesterday for old commercial vehicles and many of them were trailered there by rather large articulated lorries. These trailers had to be big to carry the old vans and lorries, but one of them had a new Roller on it and there wasn't much room to spare!

next time when I think about it and I have go to the local BMW dealer, I will make a picture of my car next to say a new 3 or 5 series, those things are huge next to a M coupe biggrin

This picture I came across on the web when I was looking for something else.

Used to own this. Made Ford KAs look massive. Was entertaining watching my gf at the time attempt to enter and exit gracefully.

OK, I know it isn't exactly dwarfed in this case, but I still found the size comparison a bit of a shock.

They check at the dealers. If you're not a prize cock, they won't let you buy one.

^^ Only a bit of fun.

I've got an XC90, and have had several big LR products, so I hope you're right about having a big car not making me a penis. XC90 does have massive practical use though.

Think that one on the right is an X6. I think they are horrid, and I do wonder what type of person buys one.

Considering how big the Bentley is that MINI is enormous - as big as something Ettore Bugatti referee to as a lorry. More indication of the mis-naming of cars produced in Cowley (or is it somewhere in Austria for the Countryman?)
