That's three of us - i saw the post earlier and tried watching but got problems with t'internet at t'moment and changing ISPs in the next couple of days anyway so thought nowt of it. If others are having problems then it's not just me then!
Maybe he caught a few frames of some dodgy advert or trading name on a lorry or bus stop or something daft and they think it's under the counter advertising - "subliminal suggestion" i think they call it?

Three weeks out of four I would cover almost 1000 mile weeks in my old 940. As others have said, car is made for these trips. I kept my speed down and returned up to 38mpg, hopefully achieving Around 35 over the week. The ride is so comfy, seats so soft, it was a joy!

I do have to be careful getting in and out of the 740: if I don't duck, I crack my head on the top of the door frame... Seriously, though, is there anything you can get properly comfortable in?

I'm only 5'10" - 5'11" and i have that trouble! That said i've got the seat base almost as high as it will go as i do have some other "body problems" (hence driving an auto only) and it's too low otherwise.

The two cars with the most interior room that I've sat in/driven recently were a BMW 3 series (boring) and believe it or not, a Skoda Citigo (not driven but sounds quite fun). I have a friend who's 7' and reckons I'd fit in a Suzuki Swift, and the AWD version with the 6 speed sounds like fun...
