It's surprisingly roomy inside for a small car, we followed a Ford Ka into Tesco's today and the two kids in the back had their heads nearly touching the rear window

The kids keep badgering me to paint two white lines up the drive so it looks like someone has run over the car

In London we have touch Parking !

i.e When you touch the car in front or behind you know that you have gone far enough !

In Paris they have ram parking, if the space isn't big enough for you to drive straight into, they just ram your car backwards or fowards

The other issue in Paris and France in general is size matters ?

i.e If you drive a small car even if brand new, a big car even an old DS has the god given right to force you off the road

It made driving a Smart car fun

The other fun factor in Paris is not pulling over far enough in traffic to let motor bikes through ?

They kick your side mirror off
