Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn’t be legal in europe. That thing doesn’t even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The Golf Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.

EDIT: It’s a Polo and not a Golf, I don’t know my cars, sorry for that!

    I have a dog and build stuff and we have a little Toyota Yaris lol

    I once fit all the building materials for a super king bed in my little Yaris which still impresses people over here. Absolute worse case scenario, I could get a man with a van to haul something I defo couldn’t haul for like £20, but I’ve never had to. Places like b&q or wicked (uk equivalent to like home depot or lowe’s) will deliver next day for cheap too, so it’s a non issue.

      Here it takes more coordination. Especially for lumber stuff. Now and days I fit most in my Integra. But there are time I wish I had more capacity.

        At the moment maybe it does, but that’s something that could change. I grew up in the US and I genuinely don’t remember trucks being so huge when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. My dad had a work truck and the trucks now would eat that thing for breakfast.

          Those old Toyota small sized trucks were perfect for short jots. But they are no longer sold.
