My sincere apologies, Redfox ! Perhaps it is just because I have only seen other girls driving them - so far. Stripped down it most certainly is and the high up driving position does make me feel a bit like a lorry driver at times - but that's all part of the fun ! I hope to get more used to it soon. It took me a day or so to get used to the indicators and wipers being on the wrong "stick". Yes, I know - that is very girly. I'd say it has character !
