" Just how did that car manage to get squished between to 15Ts ?"
Something like:
Wife to husband (driving): This car is too big for us now that the kids
have left home.
Husband: Yes, I've been looking at sub-compacts. I've seen a nice one.
I'll show you later.
Wife: Good, I can't wait to see it. Just drop me off at the tram, to save
you the extra distance.
Husband: OK. Which stop?
Wife: Oh look, my tram! Quick, just nip in here at the next stop and I can
catch it.
Husband: OK then.
