I feel somehow dumber for having read that.
It gave me the feeling that they've been cheated on one too many times by the wrong sorts of people they maybe attracted to and almost to the point that the only way you could be completely true and faithful in a relationship is to start it with the intent of dying together within the first day/week. o_O
I can see some of the points they're trying to make, but that article should have a TL:DR warning on it, or at least have the edges trimmed.

They must be contortionists.
The back of an old Fairlane is a much better choice. :P

Back seat of a mini with the sets tipped forward is quite a nice size for all sorts of things......definitely better than an LC Torana! :wink:

Well obviously if we have a GF or a wife were cheating, the mini is our first, constant and current lover :lol: .
Takes a lot of time and effort to get them ready to go out, they're great to look at, if you ignore them they get pi$$ed off at you and don't let you have a good time like you were expecting, were always buying new expensive and shiny things for them.
