Near Matches Ignore Exact Everything2 Sex in a small car (idea) by Wayland Wed Jan 23 2002 at 15:07:10 There are 3 ways of doing this that work for me, there may be more. First, park your car in a place you are not going to be disturbed, the act your about to do is disturbing enough! Lay by's are good but tend to get used a lot, I find wooded areas are good, country parks, rural areas and the like, you know where to go!!! You can't do it in the drivers seat, you just can't. The chair will not go back enough to avoid her arse from hitting the steering wheel, It makes no difference whether the horn is on a stem or on the wheel, she just won't be happy. Option 1 - The front Seat Head Banger Ask her to vacate the car, while you move to the passenger seat. Slide it back as far as it will go and recline it to about 45 degrees. Pull your trousers and pants down and ask her to get back in. While she was standing outside she should have removed any obstructions to her nice bits like tights, knickers, Bra etc. She will now be able to mount you and away you go. She can in fact turn around and sit on your lap if she wishes. Be Aware! The roof is low, make sure she does not bang her head. I did this one about 2 years ago with my wife. We were just on our way back from a restaurant when she asked to be taken somewhere. Well, being married and not offered sex from anyone very often I jumped at the chance. She was wearing a dress and did not want to try Option's 2 or 3 so Option 1 it was. Not expecting this to happen I foolishly wore braces instead of a belt. This made pulling my trousers down a nightmare. Jacket and waistcoat had to come off for a start. Anyway 30 minutes and mild concussion for her later, we were done and on our way home. Option 2 - The back seat missionary mission This option is the more classic. Both get into back. Get her to lie on the her back, one leg up on the parcel shelf, the other in the foot well. you can then get on top of her while bending both your legs at the knee upward. You will be very close to a missionary position (If either of you are over 6 feet tall, forget it, use Options 1 or 3). I Tried this about 5 years ago. We parked up by the river in a very secluded spot. Sex really wasn't planned, just some heavy petting. The problem was the XR2i 16V Fiesta came with winged front seats, which make very uncomfortable, so we retired to the back seats. One thing led to another. She was quite small and only hurt her neck a little. However being just over 6' myself, it wasn't all that nice. To top it all, just as I was getting to the Vinegar Stroke some people I knew drove past flashing their lights and sounding their horn, scared the crap out of me. Option 3 - The back seat thigh cramper This is the option I used in the Mark 1 Fiesta, so it should work in any other version of the Fiesta. Both get in the back. If its a 3 door pull the seats forward and leave them tilted, this will give you tonnes of leg room. Pull your pants down and sit in the middle. she can then mount you. If you slouch low, she can get her head over the parcel shelf and give herself more head room. The wonderful, lovely, brilliant Wertperch was telling me he tried this one a few years a go. Apparently his partner was so enthusiastic she got stuck and they started laughing so hard they couldn't move. This is indeed a danger when doing something like this. Some of the cars this applies to: Mini Austin/Rover Metro Ford Fiesta Reliant Robin VW Polo VW Golf Obviously this is designed for cold or bad weather as a beautiful night would demand making love under the stars. I like it! 3 C!s (thing) by abracadaver Mon May 23 2005 at 9:31:20 He called at 11:45. "Kiki?" "Yeah. Who's this?" "It's me. What are you doing? Are you asleep?" "No. No. I'm watching SNL." "Oh. Well, come outside. I brought you a cherry limeade slush." So I plodded into my plain white room and after digging through enough clothes for a family of five I found my favourite black sweater. At the bottom of the stairs, I slipped my feet into my little red-and-white flats that look like Canadian flags and stole into the still night. "You look beautiful." "Thanks." "Wanna go sit in the car?" "Why not?" He led me by the hand and I felt an intimacy I had wanted so much before. We got in. And he touched my face. And I slapped his hand away. "You are a hedonistic bastard." And he just laughed. "When we have sex, we don't talk or disagree. I think those are our best times together. So do you want to get in the backseat?" "Why the hell not?" And he kissed me. And I kissed him back. And then we made love. And for two hours, while the windows fogged and then condensed, while two cars drove by, while somebody turned on their porch light, while the moon got lower in the sky, while our families slept, while the world kept spinning, we were the only two people on earth who were truly alive. And then it was over. We stepped out of the little car, clothed ourselves, clothed in silence, kissed each other, and said "Good morning."

It has been two years since an internal sting showed Volkswagen managers funneled $2.9 million in secret payments to VW's once-powerful former labor boss and supervisory board member Klaus Volkert. The investigation revealed that works council leader Volkert used the bonus payments to finance "pleasure trips" including parties and prostitutes for himself and other VW labor representatives—news that shocked Germany. But as Volkert's trial got underway Nov. 22, new revelations raised questions about Piëch's knowledge of the affair. Volkert, charged with 48 counts of incitement to breach of trust, produced a letter allegedly authorizing payments to him, signed by Piëch and former personnel chief Peter Hartz. Chief prosecutor Ralf Tacke said Nov. 26. that he will query Piëch about the document when Piëch appears at a hearing in the trial of Volkert on Dec. 9. The letter also prompted Tacke to call three associates of Piëch as new witnesses in the trial. Parties, Samba Lessons, and Prostitutes Piëch has insisted that he knew nothing of the illicit bonus payments to Volkert. In January, VW's former personnel chief Peter Hartz took the full blame for the affair and admitted authorizing the $2.9 million dollars in illegal payments to Volkert and $518,000 to Volkert's Brazilian former lover Adriana Barros to win labor support for management plans. The illicit payments were used by Volkert to fund lavish foreign trips for himself and VW's labor representatives, including luxury hotels in Brazil and Lisbon, parties, samba dancing lessons, and prostitutes—all disguised as business expenses. Hartz received a suspended two-year sentence in January and an $855,000 fine for his role in the scandal. Klaus-Joachim Gebauer, a personnel manager on trial with Volkert for misuse of company funds and for organizing the payments to Volkert, insists he was acting on behalf of management and that the executive board knew about the slush funds since they triggered monthly reports on budget overruns. He said he was instructed to keep the payments confidential and to reimburse the expenses from his private account, booking them under "executive board miscellaneous." Volkswagen issued a statement Nov. 26 saying that neither the company nor Piëch, who was chief executive from 1993 to 2002, had any knowledge of the misappropriation of funds. VW also said it is considering legal action over the allegations. Prosecutor Tacke said Piëch is not under investigation, but that if evidence emerged from new witnesses, then "an investigation could be considered." German prosecutors are now seeking to question several managers who worked closely with Piëch from 1995 to 2005, including his former personal secretary, Rupert Stadler (now CEO of VW premium unit Audi (NSUG.DE)) and former Chief Financial Officer Bruno Adelt. The Dark Side of Co-Determination The drama over management misdeeds unfolds even as German automaker Porsche (PSHG_P.DE) tightens its control over Volkswagen with a 31% stake. Porsche scion Piëch is now VW's largest shareholder through his family's ownership of Porsche. Porsche moved deftly in October to weaken the influence of VW's once-powerful labor unions by reincorporating itself as a European company—thus reducing the number of VW labor representatives in the supervisory board. Under Germany's co-determination law, large companies must grant labor representatives 50% of the seats on the supervisory board. When the VW scandal erupted, it sparked national soul-searching among industry leaders and economists about Germany's vaunted co-determination law, which many believed to be responsible for years of labor peace. The slush funds and sex escapades at VW, however, revealed the dark side of the alliance between business and labor that some insist has bred corruption and has undercut Germany's competitiveness. The dilemma is clear: Germany's chief executives depend on votes from the labor reps to be reappointed. Instead of making tough decisions on restructuring or job cuts, some managers are prone to delay or avoid change, and curry favor with union bosses sitting on their boards—to the detriment of their companies. Volkert claims Piëch promised to pay him as much as an executive board member in charge of an automotive brand. Blurring the lines and the traditional distance between management and labor, worker council representatives at Germany's largest companies often become the golf partners and drinking buddies of top management, enjoy management-style salaries, bonuses and stock options, and are routinely treated to everything from posh hotels to the CEO's pricey cigars. Volkert's trial could still reveal new evidence about just how cozy that relationship became at VW. Edmondson is a senior correspondent in BusinessWeek's Frankfurt bureau .
