Dave80s 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Citroen XM turbo Estate. Biggest estate I have ever owned. You can raise and lower the suspension for loading (as you can on most Citroens). Also the ride isn't altered by the load. Previously had a Volvo 850 T5 estate - bit small for a Dj rig I think. Fast though! Before that a Volvo 740 turbo (I like turbos) estate - better than the 850 space wise. Link to post Share on other sites
spinner 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Ford Transit, insured specifically ( in my wife's name ) for mobile DJ work - something that a large number of insurers will not do, in my experience. Link to post Share on other sites

DJ Geco 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 QUOTE Isn't there some kind of rule for youngsters about the weight ratios of trailer and car? Surely, the Megane is very light compared to the contents of your trailer? One step ahead there Brian! The megane has a pulling power of 1300kg, and my trailer is only rated at 1000kg so no worries! It's a suprisingly heavy little car, although as it is the saloon version, i guess that adds some weight. Plus it has a huge boot, so anything that can't go in the trailer will be swallowed up in the back of the car! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif QUOTE Just looked at your website... is all the equipment in the pictures, your own? Because that is one big rig, and dare i ask how much you payed for your flightcases! ! Yup, all that was mine, but they are about 8 months old now those photos, the show has changed and grown since then! Now running 6m of Astralite rather than the 4m in those pictures! As for the flightcases, i was using a big 6 foot by 3 foot trunk on wheels to pack all the lighting into, but it was impossible to lift it! So now i am using "Really Usefull Boxes" and they are fantastic! Cost £10 each from staples, line them with foam and they do the job perfectly! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/thumbup.gif Link to post Share on other sites
