From my good friend BionicDwarf.

The Volvo Estate (pictured above) has cast aside its boring image - by being voted the best car for having sex in the back seat.It turns out the car has actually seen more action than any other - largely thanks to the extra space, according to a new survey. And there was a boost for the white van man with the multi-purpose Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van in second place. The survey of 4,000 people for yesinsurance.co.uk put the VW Camper van in third place, the BMW 3 Series Saloon in fourth and the Ford Escort in fifth.

According the pollsters, some 68% of people have had sex in a car and one in 10 say they had even got fruity while driving. Six per cent said they had damaged their vehicles while getting busy - but only one in 100 of these were bold enough to claim on their insurance.

A yesinsurance.co.uk spokesman said: "It would seem that space is the most important issue for couples who want to enjoy themselves."Meanwhile, another survey found that more than a million motorists think about sex rather than the road ahead. Research from car insurer More Than found one in five drivers admit to concentrating behind the wheel less than 75% of the time, with 1.2 million thinking mostly about sex. For 3.2 million drivers work was the main focus and for 2 million more it was family issues that dominated.

[I wonder how many people who admitted to having sex in the back of a Volvo also admitted to owning the car? Very few I imagine!]

You've left me speechless. In the interest of not incriminating anyone, I will have to not add anything to this discussion. lol

Well... there is a story about me, my ex-partner and a Fiat Punto.... which I will not relate here. [grin].

I will only say that I am 6 feet tall and the Punto is what you would call a 'compact' car.. [rotflmao].

The only small car i had which i don't think i tried it in was the pug 106.

As for the last part arent us men sposed to think about sex every 6 seconds or so (now where did i put that halo)?

Now that post has left me feeling seriously nostalgic, Austin 1100 and Hilman Imp nostalgic circa 1972-4!!!

Tried it once in a white van (don't even think about asking for particulars!). Geared vehicles are not designed for such things - that's why American cars all have bench seats - and why I never bothered with people that didn't have proper houses to go to after that one attempt:-)

I wonder what the results would be Stateside, since I don't believe we have as many Volvo drivers here. I'd say station wagons, hatchbacks and pickup trucks would be in the lead, based on my unscientific experience. ;-)

Isn't that why they call them *pick-up* trucks?

JM - A white van? No wonder you insist on people with their own place! Personally I FAR prefer beds!

Dave - A Hillman IMP...? You're having a laugh mate [rotflmao].
