Back in the original spirit of the thread (I hope... )

Very much in the spirit in my opinion. How ludicrously large is the thing which is labelled Mini!

I never sad in one and forgot if I ever seen one in the flesh, they are very low, but perhaps you sit on the 'floor' with the seat and a bit backwards? now you mention it I'm curious too.
I think I will fit with my 1.80, but you are a bit longer? maybe some owners here :-)

Yeah, OK, it's comparing apples with oranges, but...

The saddo's 'SUV' on the right even dwarfs the beautiful 'Great Western' Steam Loco in the background - DUH!

The “saddo” appears to be getting something out of the rear of his SUV. Children perhaps. A difficult feat in a seven type car you’ll agree.

Using a seven as a benchmark is pointless as

1. It is still produced, so is contemporary rather than classic.
2. Unless your driving a Morgan three wheeler your car will dwarf it.

Despite all of which it's still a bit sad When my first son was born I got an MGC GT, second son meant I needed a bigger car so I got a Porsche 944

That 7 is a Series 4 so at best is 44 years old!

The 1924 Bentley 3-Litre was originally slightly larger. It started life with a standard long chassis (10'10"), but was cut down to "Speed Model" (9'9½") length. Originally a saloon, it now has a replica Vanden Plas 4-seater tourer body. Many vintage Bentleys were converted to more desirable specifications when their original bodies rotted.

It depends on the question.

If the question is; do you understand perspective?

Then the answer is no.

Thing on the right is an electrical appliance , does not count

[RichB]

Given that they both have their rear tyres perched on the grey paving slabs I'd say the electrical appliance is somewhat larger than the world's fastest lorry.

Whilst my commer van is getting a much needed engine upgrade I have the Standard 10 as the shopping trolley.

[DoubleD]

They look about the same size
