I have seen this mentioned on here before, but when I parked my 33 at an outlet center at the weekend there were no cars near me but one our return I couldn't find it for love nor money and here's the reason why.

It's just ridiculous how big cars have got, to have the roof at the same level as a modern SUVs' window is just crazy.

It is when we are supposed to be saving resources and the planet and what about all that plastic!

Yep, and when you live down small country lanes even a bicycle is left with no room. Pointing out that its not the road systems fault, but that they have a very large car does not please them either.
Was impressed the other day though when my MOT tester pointed out that his new diesel Jaguar does 60 mpg on a run !

As a cyclist I have to agree, on small lanes you have to be aware of the larger vehicles, but for me its the parking spaces too that need to grow to accommodate these larger SUV's monsters, it must be a challenge in a multi story car park in one of those beasts.

Very fair point Nualfaman. I've driven my dad's 2015 BMW 730d on motorways and in a multi storey.
Guess which is much more enjoyable!

My driveway - though the Bentayga is work, definitely not mine!

Bryan,
hope the 1.3 SC is running ok?
Did you fettle the rear arches? Maybe not!

Now that even looks tiny next to the RS2000. Is there even enough room for a passenger?
Just imagine driving that on a motorway with the current crop of SUV's and 4x4's, but at least you would be able to park it easily in a multi story car park.
