Long term report: Ford B-Max

Surfing in the UK is torturous. The sea is bitterly cold, meaning one requires a wetsuit so thick it can happily double up as a spare tyre when not in use.

But more importantly, the surf is so poor and infrequent, one needs to drop everything, pack up the car and drive to the appropriate beach (there aren't many) as soon as there is a whiff of a wave.
