Got off the flight this afternoon, through passport control and out the otherside in 5 minutes flat got through to the hire car counter, no queue (this is too good to be true) hand over Driving Licence and credt card to hear the magic words you've been given a free upgrade.
At this point I'm thinking of the Alfa Giulietta, FIAT 500 Abarth type stuff that's usually out there. I'm on my own, no family in tow this time, might get something a bit exciting to drive.
Ford S-Max 7 seater with 2.0 diesel engine, wearing lots of battle scars for an 11 plater. Not a bad car in its own right but not what you would chose to have a little fun with on the twisties.
Maybe I should have insisted on the Focus I'd ordered and kept the upgrade for next time in hindsight :-(

its a bit like being left with the fat tart down at the disco really init.

The S-Max is said to handle well - for a glass van.

Exactly.
It's like a moped, you can have a good laugh but you wouldn't want your mates to see you.
Bum (Am I allowed to say that).
Don't suppose it's worth a pop at the lottery this weekend.

In BAOR the SMax is known as the "squaddy max".
On our trio to k****land last year there were at least 5 in the road where or family were living (M.Q.s).
No tax makes them a good deal for families!
