I have no idea what a Ford Anglia is or looks like... even after Neil 
told me in chat this summer.  I feel very embarrassed about this 
fact, seeing as half my family works for Ford Motor Company and the 
extended lot of us drive nothing but Ford cars.  (My mother nearly 
had a conniption when I asked for "a Camry or a Volvo" for college 
graduation.)

Right now, I drive an Escort.  It seats 2 normal-sized adults 
comfortably, 4 passably well, and although it has space for 5, it's a 
squeeze.  If my car is anything like the Anglia, I think Molly 
Weasley needs her head examined... there is no way on earth 9 people 
could fit in an Escort without very obvious magic.

I'm pretty sure there's an Anglia pic in the Files section here or 
over at our Yahoo! vacation home.  :)
