crap dive car

well my golf is being mended following a minor prang by a truck driver.

I've wangled an " executive" hire car as a replacement as third party have admitted liability. I've got a Merc c class.

It's a nice looking car but I'm going to have to find a creative solution to getting two lots of dive kit in it. Back seat doesn't fold, and the boot won't take two gear gulpers. Might have to use bags instead and get the boot wet.

So we have to slum it in a Merc? Nuts!

Gear gulpers on the back seats, tanks in the rear footwells, assorted other shit in the boot, viola!

Most importantly though, does it have a decent cup holder for my coffee mug?

You take stringed instruments with you when you go diving? /pedant mode off]

It appears to be cup holder free, just how a car should be. I've managed to make it talk to my phone, so can do all that hands free stuff through the radio.

Getting 2 gear gulpers on the back seat will be one for " Challenge Arfie!"

I guess it's designed to fit one rep and his bag of snake oil. Will be fun to see how the kids fit inside as it seems to have less room than the Golf.
