Why the hell do we call them all 3 and 5 doors???
Occurred to me today in a daydreamy moment...
3 or 5 door evokes the idea you use the extra door (or boot) to enter the vehicle...
Really cant remember the last time I used the boot to get my passengers in...
and in saloons you can't get in the cabin from the boot...so why the 3rd or 5th door?!
Anyone got any thoughts?! I know sometimes they are referred to as 2 and 4 door...but its not as common as the 3 and 5 dr.
And if we are going for ways to enter, then I have a 6 door, coz I gota sunroof!!!
Or if its just openings to the car in general, then why dont we count the bonnet?!
where did it all start?!
