Once heard of a guy getting a washing machine on the passenger seat of an MX5, with the roof down obviously. Bet he got a few interesting looks. :smt104

I got my SR250 home 80 miles in the back of a VW Golf, all I took off was the front wheel and dropped the bars round so they pointed downwards.

Yeah, it'll fit.

Slightly off topic I know...
But if anyone is bored and wants a bit of bizarre fun, ask for a test drive in a Corsa VXR...
- Footdown...
- Wait Approx. 2 seconds for the lag of the turbo...
- See the rev counter go from one end to the other in about 2 seconds...
- Spend another few seconds changing gear with the clunkly gear-box...
And repeat!

Back on topic... I've managed a full mountain bike (with only the front wheel taken off) and three people in my Yaris! :D

When I have to drive the car, it's a Ford Galaxy (named because you can fit one inside it!!).

When we moved house, I borrowed a small box van (not long base or high top), and used that & the Galaxy. Two trips, done. Anyone that's ever moved house will tell you how much of a feat that is!!

Amongst many other things, you can fit a Kingsize matress in a Ford Galaxy quite comfortably - I even thought about turning it into a mobile home.
