[quote name='MoJoKe' post='310003' date='Oct 19 2008, 06:42 PM']Sorry guys, forget the hedgehog jokes, there is only 1 car for the jobbing musician, particularly if you also have to transport drummer, PA, you name it....
It can only be a Volvo estate... 240, 740, 850, V70... Very little difference in capacity, my flightcases go [b]across[/b] the back, and with the seats down about the same floorspace as a transit van! Well maybe not quite, but I have transported Amp, 410, 115 cab, AND the two top speakers and stands from our PA, and the Guitarist with his gear too.... Not forgetting mic stands, cable trunk and my three basses...
My V70 does 40MPG on diesel, so not as juicy as you would have thought either... Oh and its a proper car, not an MPV or converted van, so comfortable too!! You can pick up an old one reasonably cheaply, safe in the knowledge the diesel engine is good for 200,000 miles

+1, my dearly departed 440 used to eat anything you threw in it.
