When you can impress people at work by getting 45-50mpg from a car as old as them!

And when during the hazzard perception part of your driving theory test, you're looking at the back of the mini infront wondering if it's an equinox or not, rather than concentrating on the test! still passed tho

when you take your mother on the asda run which ends up becoming a military manouvre, putting stuff in the boot is pointless and the back seat winds up full!
i genuinely considered leaving her in the car park!
