Calling Jeremy Clarkson, the
marvellous presenter of the popular British television programme "Top
Gear", that all men who are really little boys at heart, love to watch,
and would love even more to have Jeremy's job. Trying out all sorts of fabulous
cars, driving around the world, having adventures along the way, not to mention
the great enjoyment of blowing up a caravan or two, is most men's idea of a
dream job! We thoroughly enjoy
the programme and never miss an episode.
I wrote some time ago for The HuffingtonPost about the difficulties in finding a small inexpensive car that would take
a standard size wheelchair in the boot. Most
car showrooms, including their staff and shiny catalogues that must cost a
small fortune to produce, (putting aside how many trees died in the process) go
into great detail of every aspect of a car, except the fact of whether a
wheelchair will fit into the boot. I really do think this issue needs to be
addressed, and sales people informed of what make cars and models can
accommodate a wheelchair.
I am appealing for your help in rectifying this lack of
information, that would help so many like myself. I have been inundated with
e-mails from people all over the world wanting to know what car we bought and
which cars have boots large enough to take a wheelchair.
I do hope that car salesmen will pick up this idea from you because I know how much difficulty I have when trying to fit a friend's wheelchair into the allotted space in my baggage compartment. It takes someone like you to change things for the rest of us. Thank you.
