3 point turns? The turning circle should be in the specs somewhere - Glass's guide perhaps? How big is your turning circle at the moment? And do you have standard sized tyres? Do they rub on full lock?

If you think a disco's bad you want to try an old 109.

Quantify "crap". The specs say 11 1/2 metres kerb to kerb. What's yours?

You just have to accept it. We have a Disco 3 and it turned quicker than my 90 before I adjusted it... now with my extra wide tyres, my 90 is like a boat.

You have to own an old mini to get into a standard multistorey car park space and then get out of the car. I'm convinced the designers don't realise that cars travel in arcs and have doors at the side.
ps. I live in Evesham which has the officially worst multistorey in the country.

I knew the romans built straight roads for summat....


Turning circles for most Landy's are crap, hence why we tend to mount the curb, pavement, grass verge's, pedestrians....
