... well it's handy for the carp.

In fact I've got the opposite problem - I'm still not at home in the new C5, and I'm sure it's because of the acres of empty boot, cubby holes etc. Actually, I was thinking of dividing the boot into lots, and then renting them out for storage - it might help to defray some of the costs of my disappointingly frequent visits to the pump.....

Apart from filling up, do you like your new car? I'm growing to like mine even more every day, like the way the car wakes up when you unlock it; the suspension pump starts and the height adjusts a small amount.
