Not my photo but we have a little red fiat seicento and they're the best car for tip runs, you get funny looks from people seeing how much you keep pulling out the back of one of these things!
k did that get in there?

Surprised there's not more posts from people in bands. It was so normal to pack stupid amounts of kit in impractical cars that it never occurred to us to take photos. Drum kits in Beetles, keyboards in X1/9s, half the audience in Transits and a lot of beer.... everywhere.
Valid point. I'm in a band and as you say, it never occured to take a picture. I've had my huge bass stack and amp setup in a 6U flight case (4x10 cab and 1x15 cab), along with a full drum kit (5 toms, snare, bass drum, 10 cymbals and all iron work) along with my pedalboard, guitar and drum mics all in a Civic Type R. Tetris comes to mind.EDIT: Actually think one cab went in another car. Seemed to much in my head. Still impressive, point stands

I thought about it! But it was just another red seicento so left it hahaIn my little Fiat I had, 3 band members (including me) two guitars, a bass guitar, a 75W solid state amp and a big bass amp too. I can't remember how I got it all in tbh.
I'd never seen it so low, plus the little 1.1 putting out 50 odd bhp really was struggling going up the hills of north wales!
(Down to 4th, foot down. Ok 3rd, foot down. Ok 2nd foot down and the revs stopped going down, apologised to to people behind us)

Almost on-topic... not so much unusal, but quite efficient packing!
Camping in Les Alpes.
Is the support car out of view? Camping in Les Alpes.
I wasn't even allowed to give the wife a bag to put on her knee, which she doesn't mind for shorter trips.
I'll bet not many S1 Elise owners know that the roof and side rails fit in the front service compartment!

Lovely E63 you have but its still an estate, designed to be a load lugger.
A Christmas tree in your Caterham however, or an alpaca in your M3 - now we're talking

Not done this myself, but did see a Vauxhall Tigra on a motorway with 4 pieces of wood that must have been 17ft long in the passenger seat, top down. He was on the hard shoulder looking glum whilst the nice policeman was pointing out that he was being a f*****g idiot!
(edited to revise height estimate based on top of planks being just over HGV height whilst at 45DEG angle, but HGV cabs are only ~11.5ft.)
