RE: IML: driving a big car in Europe

["david munson" <davidmunson30@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been driving A BIG car in England for 30 or more years and apart from 
the fuel cost and car parking spaces  (too small even for european cars ) I 
have several cars one being a 63 Imperial which at 6 foot 10 1/2 inches is 
pretty wide , I can't say that you don't occassionally have an issue but 
generally its not that bad after all we do have a lot of buses and trucks 
that are as big.
