Now there's a sensible comment.Originally Posted by brad
No doubt about it, a Golf V or Golf VI is the way to go if one wants the highest boot length to car length ratio!
Walter de Silva has some explaining to do about why he shortened the boot while lengthening the car.
If the answer to the Monty Hall problem was 50/50, the contestant, on average, would win the car 50% of the time simply by sticking with their original guess...but you can only win a one-in-three guessing game 33.33% of the time so it can't be 50/50, can it?

PS - this is what I am talking about . . . when I had my Polo I could park in spaces (such as the one pictured) in which the Golf, let alone Octavia, simply could no fit. So long as the parking space is 15cm longer than the car, I can park. Volkswagen condensed, lol #knowhatimean?

Strictly speaking, parking like that is illegal in NSW. RMS says 1m between cars. LOL.

+1 I also doubt if that is his Polo or if he actually squeezed his Polo in there.

Indeed and when I returned to my car a council ranger had placed infringement notices on the Sub and the Accord . . . there being no way, the officer reasoned, that the innocent little Polo could have been parked after the other two cars...
In shopping centres one of my pet hates is when the car that has the benefit of parking next to the wall or concrete pillar does not park as close as possible to it, thus maximising space between it and adjacent car. While not everyone will want to leave the credit card's thickness I allowed between the concrete pillar and my Golf when I parked in a "small car only" space in a local shopping centre the other day, thus maximising the distance between between my car and the adjacent car (a Golf!) whose owner thoughtlessly had parked closer to the dividing line than the pillar even though the driver's door was on the dividing line side.

Well, Silly Boy, you're obviously one of those cynical people with trust issues who doubts others, not just privately but also, perhaps even more egregiously, publicly, without any basis other than their own insecurities.
Nonetheless, I take your scepticism as a compliment and thank you for it. It was a most satisfying park, being the only one available and directly across the road from "Petalin Street", the Malaysian restaurant from which I was collecting an assam laksa.
