Where's the dog when you're driving? Passenger lap?

How long you planning to be away for?

What's your concern?

No, the dog would have to be in one of the back seats, with a harness on.

You'd easily fit the spaniel in the frunk wink

Yes, possible.

Not even sure why this would be a question - what are you concerned about?

Of course it is possible - dog in back.

It made me remember sitting in a queue to board the channel tunnel last summer in my camping car and there was a brand red new corvette C8 immediately in front of me.

The driver got out - and he must have been 75…. (He took an age to get out over the door sill.. it made me chuckle - (good on him!!) - he then produced a fluffy white Bichon Frieze dog from the passenger seat….

I suspect his wife said… “f@&k driving to the south of France in that thing… I’m flying to Nice….. I’ll see you there … oh, and don’t forget to bring the dog!! “biglaugh

Absolutely what these cars were built for. Took my three strapping lads to France and Belgium last summer. With sensible packing in soft bags it's amazing how much you can fit up front.

Done Le Mans with wife and child in a 3.2 Carrera. Pretty sure a wife and small dog will fit.

We also had tent etc with us. Although the last time when the lad was 6ft was a bit of a squeeze hehe
