Back in the late 70's my gay friends (both almost 2 metres tall - that's 6ft 6ins in the old numbers) had a VW & I remember a trip back from the central coast (about 50 miles north of Sydney)

I was sitting/sprawling across the back seat as they had to push their seats waaaay back. I don't remember crawling in or getting out, just the very long slow trip on a hot summer's day, windows wide open to get a breeze. I don't think the back seat got much breeze!

Part of the delay was explained at the Toll gates - there had been an accident much earlier, & everyone asked the collectors about the delay.

My friends also had 2 standard poodles which would no doubt have had a more comfortable trip in their car.
