We do cater for tall / fat people (I'm around 20 stone at the moment..) plenty of tall people have Minors (it's not the Mini club) but probably not a standard pick up as at 6 foot tall they are just at my limit. If you have long legs you'd want to make a crew cab pickup!
I always figured on club clothing - if I get so big that I don't fit in the club clothes, it's because they know I'd rather spend my money on pizza

I must admit I was thinking about the subject of weight the other day. I drove up Titsey Hill, which is both steep and long. I thought the car seemed a bit down on power (2nd gear hill) but I think the explanation is both the driver and the passenger are not the svelte teenagers they once were!
1969 1098cc Convertible “Xavier” which I have owned since 1989.

I bought a Mini Marcos out of nostalgia a couple of years ago as I had one when I was about 22 and couldn't get in it
Fibreglass shrinks when it ages, well known fact,
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!
