Title: Omega saloon capacity
Post by: RobG on 20 January 2011, 09:02:23

"Zirk" (Chris) travelled down yesterday tea time in a saloon minus the rear seat base. Despite an LPG tank mounted behind the rear seats he managed to get in a complete MV6 saloon interior + a front Prodrive bumper. Amazing what these cars will hold 8-) :y

I managed to get a full viking living history display, complete with tents, awnings, weapons, furs, etc.  In my estate...  Probably a good 40% of the groups gear...   The only stuff I couldn't get in was things like large chests and other bulky things

Was thinking about coming over in the Tigra with the back seats down, Im sure all the interior would have fitted in back but probably pushing my luck with the spoiler without making it part of the Tigra's bodywork.

Yea Rob told me about, think they must be practising their body panel repair skills in order to cut down on their Liability Insurance.
