Not great unless it's warm enough to stick your legs out of the window, haven't tried the estate yet. I'd suggest a tent.

I once had a stalker (no not one of those) :oops: :oops: :oops: and the forum Admin took down
all of the posts that might have incited the behaviour that took place.
I made a complaint about my neighbours and somebody very kindly mailed them all a letter.
which got their backs up a bit. :roll: :roll: :roll: #-o I was nearly lynched :evil: :lol:

I even collared the nephew over whose only 9 and pointed the repair and told him you won't see anything like this on your dad's car and then did the citrobics, he can't understand why his dad's polo won't do the same :)

Well the xantia comes in four leg lengths all in one, way above the the ankle, above the ankle, regular and xtra long, Now and again you have to give the xantia a stretch in traffic. When slowing down harsh on the brakes I've noticed sometimes if I keep foot on brake for 10-15 seconds and let go the back end drops (imagine the cyclist whose leaning on boot they won't be too happy :lol: )
that usually gets most drivers attention....
