I picked up a hire car today and to my surprise it's a C5 X.

I have come to the opinion that it's a nice car in every way except the steering wheel!!!! Some idiot flattened the top and bottom of the steering wheel and it's to far away!!! I'm going to have arms like Popeye by the time I hand it back. Next time I'll ask for this instead

I think a suggestion involving soap, water and your mouth comes to mind Ryan! :-D

Inspired by the Austin Allegro and its 'Quartic' steering wheel :wink:

There's loads of those in Milton Keynes. Allegedly, the answer to life, the universe and climate change...

Nothing new, I always remember my grandparents flat porch roof was covered in what we called 'ice plants' (actually Sedums) when I was a lad...

I can't stand (it being a big fat SUV blob plus also) the mix of gull wing back doors with completely conventional front doors!
Pop the kids in with the full Thunderbirds treatment then slip into the driver's seat via the tradesman entrance! :rofl2:

Oh, I forgot to mention it's a proper seven seater so the size is justified.

I wonder if that is one of the Teslas where an electric power failure and 'hidden handles' means you can't open the doors from inside or outside.

If you must (Musk?) have sleek flush handles, you could have them held shut by electric power such that they spring open when the power fais, but Elon knows best .....
