Some topics just seem to hide away for a while and then come back as if they'd never been away (this one has been hibernating since Jan 2004 and even has a post from the SpinDoctor http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/kid.gif )

 

Anyway back on topic I use an estate car (Vectra diesel) plus had I replied to this way back in 2004 I would have included a trailer as well but as I didn't I won't because I don't any more http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/wacko.gif

My Trusty rusty Transit! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/tongue.gif

 

Even though. I have got a pair of 15" tops, pair of 18" bins, 2 amps, 10 channel mixer, large B&Q crate of cables, 8 Lights, 2 T-bar stands, 2 sets of twin CD players and 3 cases of CD's, all into one of those new Vauxhall Astras! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif

Renault Trafic 1.9 Turbo Diesel and ther gear just fits in http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/scared.gif

 

First time round 20+ years ago I used to get whoever could run me, if I was lucky it was an escort van, but more often than not an old escort estate. God knows how it used to fit.

In them days my decks were home built and about 5ft long, the speakers were 2x12s with horns, the records were REAL and they were in cases the size of a large suitcase that held about 700 in each case weighing about 100lbs each and there were 3 of them http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/omg.gif then there were loads of lights too.

Lookin' for a medium size van at the mo' to replace it.

Toyota Previa MPV, been using it for over 7 years years transporting the gear about.

 

Marvelously reliable but the interior is now ripped to shreds

 

No room for any passengers just me and the kit.

 

I really must look into getting a smaller rig.

I used to have a Xantia estate, but it died a slow death in the new year, so I've now got an Astra estate.

 

I wish I had my Xantia back. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/014.gif The adjustable suspension was great for loading and unloading, and the cargo space was bigger and flatter than the Astra.

My Rover Montego Estate for the amp rack and speakers, and a pillock's Maestro hatchback for the lighting, coffin etc.

 

Not a good situation really, and one that has become unworkable. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/mad.gif

I use a Ford Mondeo Hatchback. I have my own designed frame/stand which folds flat and has space between the spars to allow the speakers to sit in between them. The coffin for my lights fits between the rear doors just behind the front seats and then the amp, speaker stands, laptop flight case fit in at the back. I can also fit in a bar sized stool/seat and a 16" fan for those venues too stingy to install air-conditioning. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/188.gif

Ticked "other" as I use a Kia Sedona MPV (7 seater).

 

Depending on set-up required I just take out more seats. With average show can still have 4 seats if I pack neatly. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif

You want me to play what?
