Things wrong with the Vauxhall Zafira
It has 'bucket seats'. Sort of.
When I first got into it I sat sideways on and swivelled round.
I got in that way because there is so little headroom when you get in.
BUT...
To keep the shape of the seat there is some sort of metal rod or plate inside the side of the seat that points upwards.
I sat down, bum facing inward and swivelled round.
The metal plate/rod lined up with my hip joint as I turned and I thought I was going to be crippled.
I leapt up from the pain and fell in the road.
It felt like the socket had been pulled apart and that the bum muscles got a bit torn. The skin on the back of my thigh was grazed and bruised.
I couldn't stand up for about 5 minutes, sit comfortably for the rest of the day and I still had a limp the next day.
