I seem to recall a BMW Mini has the same wheelbase as a Mk3 Mondeo.

First rule of Grammar Nazism - get your own spelling, punctuation and grammar correct.

It's "I am" not "i am" I believe, and English should be with a captial "E".

HTH.

Totally missed that one. I was looking for the inevitable gap somewhere else. I'm used to not needing to spot that mistake.

In checking up the shortest wheelbases since 2006, I discovered that the IFR Aspid sits on a scant 2160mm wheelbase. And the 997 Porsche 911 has a shorter wheelbase than a Suzuki Splash (2350 and 2360mm respectively).

Oh, the irony.
The correct spelling is 'capital'.

So much failrolleyes

Capitalising Grammar Nazi also makes sense as it's a title.

Can we move on from the grammar police nonsense now?
