Modern cars are huge in comparison. The original MINI (the BMW one) had pretty much the same wheelbase as a Mk1 Range Rover.
Brommers-
Did you mean 'the not-at-all original MINI'? Or was the old Mini not spelled 'MINI'?

I appreciate that much of it is safety, which is clearly a good thing.
Although I'm becoming a bit of a grumpy old man about all the MASSIVE German barges that seem to dominate now. Especially the fucking coupes. Seriously who needs a 5m long coupe?

It's nuts isn't it.
All the houses here are either postwar council houses or huge bling things. So when we were looking we saw a couple of places with OG garages. Seems incredible that your average car used to fit. One of them the owners had sort of knocked out a door in the side at the point where the drivers door could open. Car was some tiny Aego(sp?) sized thing but still a snug fit.
