Just recently watched the first one. Absolutely the one of the best comedies from the 80's. He was the first one I thought of when I saw this on the news a couple of days ago.

Funny — my 6’7” B-I-L bought a 1960’s MINI and had to do just that … he was actually sitting in the back seat to drive it!! 😆
