My raggity old 1978 long wheelbase Dodge van has about 14 feet of
cargo
space in it from inside the rear doors to inside of the windshield
(windscreen,to you,Scotland girl) I had to unload a big two piece
settee
(put the two pieces together and it is a lonnggggg couch,sofa,to you
Scotland girl) and I also have two tables and a few big boxes of
junk
and two wheels/tires (tyres,to you,Scotland girl,wheel/tires three
times
larger than on that little toy crackerbox you drive) and a boat
engine
and and a big old air compressor and other assorted odds and ends of
big
junk in my van.(I also own a 1971 short wheelbase Chevrolet van and
a
regular size wheelbase 1982 Ford van and a 1976 Chevrolet ex bread
truck
van that is bigger than anything you have ever seen and a 1914 Ford
T
model car and a 1942 Willys World War Two Jeep and a 1948 Willys
civilian Jeep and a 1961 Hercules German moped,it has bicycle pedals
on
it,I just now got my 25 foot long tape measure and I measured my
Doge
van from bumper to bumper,about 18 feet long.I measured my 1976
Chevrolet ex bread truck in my back yard,about 22 feet long and six
and
a half feet wide by about eight feet high) I had to make room in my
Dodge van so the window unit airconditioner I bought at Cowboy
Maloney
Electric City on Ellis Ave here in Jackson,Mississippi would fit in
the
ass end of my van.And you,Scotland girl are worried/concerned about
the
big gas burners we American's own and drive and "waste" gasoline
on.You
don't have a leg to stand on! Scotland girl!

That's a nice collection of big vehicles you have there. Hope
you'll still afford the price of gas in years to come. For the record,
I'm not too concerned about your gas guzzlers. Just admire the logic
of using up a finite resource in such a wasteful manner, while
"economising" could reap many dividends in the long run.

Oh, and lose the "girl" reference. It's tiresome and I thought you
were capable of higher things.
