So, there I was in Bristol and I was parking in the Trenchard Street car park in my MG IM5. Let’s just say it was a little challenging, as the MG IM5 is longer and wider than my previous car (or even previous cars plural).
The MG IM5 is 4.93m long, compared to the 4.24m length of the Funky Cat, the MG IM5 is 70cm longer.
Width wise, the Funky Cat was 1.8m wide, the MG IM5 is wider at 1.96m. That 16cm makes a difference.
I did struggle slightly getting both in and out of the car park.
The Trenchard Street car park in Bristol was built in 1966, it was designed for cars of that era. Back then cars were a lot smaller, the Ford Escort Mk1 was less than 4m in length and only 1.57m wide.
