Volvo - 1 Jeep - 0

It is with the trepidation of knowing that my in-laws have a Jeep that I report the following adventure today:

I am part of a small organising team for a trivia night being held at Kelpie and Padawan Learner's school this Saturday. As part of this we needed to borrow 10 trestle tables from a neighbouring school deep in LNSM territory.

"I have a Jeep" announced fellow helper JA "It'll fit all those tables in EASILY".

Once we had decided on the right outfit to wear, ponytails at regulation height, JA and I drove off to collect said tables. But, oh dear, the tables didn't fit. Not by at least 2 inches. Not even after JA snapped off a nail trying to get them in.

"Why don't we try the Volvo" I suggested

And, guess what? They DID, with 2 inches to spare. Victory to the Volvo stationwagon!

Trouble is, now I have to take them back on Monday...

If you are venturing deep into LNSM territory probably wisest to take regulation 4-WD to sneak in unnoticed, and park Volvo around corner for safe and cautious getaway.
