The car you can't sit in

On holiday in the UK we hired a Ford Focus estate. Nice car, but the bucket of the seat was narrower than my arse, so an hour in my legs were going numb ... and an hour doesn't get you very far when you're leaving Heathrow.

I am an average build male, 32" waist, generally regarded as slightly skinny. I can only conclude that this is a car for teenage girls / bulemics / models / junkies (combine any two)... none of which strike me as the estate-car demographic.

WTF?

...so I had to drink my coffee with two hands, like a twat. I blame Ali McBeal.
