My life is over.
Bye bye GTI
Hello Synergie....
Actually, it's quite a usefull thing.
Smooth as a smooth thing and carries lots of junk in a tipwards direction.
It's either  or 
Haven't made my mind up yet.
A friend who has had one for 7 tears tells me that if I take all the seats out of the back, a single mattress fits right in there. Race weekends
without having to share the errr "funk" of other team members seems like a good thing...

Ideal cheap workhorse!

Multipla - 6 seats in two rows of 3 and a usefull boot behind. What a great thing.
From the inside....
Had I not bought this and if I could have found one at the right money, I would have bought a Scudo combi.
Same seating arrangement as the Multpla plus a van bit behind.
The pikey in me loves a van...

I still have some silly desire for a Toyota Townace "Golden lounge". 6 swivel chairs and the rear seats fold out to make a bed. Perfect
towing and race HQ.

Yeah, they're brilliant to look at, from the inside, but it's the inside that wears. The ones in my price range look like they've
spent every mile with half a dozen angry chimps in the back destroying the plastic interior....

True, but as you drove it into your street, all you would hear would be the sound of heavy hammers knocking wooden posts into the ground followed by
'for sale' signs being nailed to them.
The thought of driving a square plated Lucida into my quiet little corner of suburbua stopped from commiting just such a crime the other night whilst
at the local auctions...
Some things really are beyond the pale.

I'm with you on this - there's something strangely enticing about them, just not sure I could bring myself to actually do it though.

I love my Espace
(Going to that from my ZT260, which I also loved)
On the subject of Toyota's, I saw a big one on a documentary about the people in (may have been Malaysia) that a woman had been able to buy and
was using for ferrying people to and fro the airport - anyone know which model it was?

Cracking, we have an 806, and i can confirm the internal space once the seats are out massive.
AT the of my a-levals i had to take my project home. A near full height oak bookcase.
It was 1000mm wide and 1950mm tall. Having told the dt teacher that i was taking it home he said 'do you have a big trailer then' i said
we had a few trailers but i was just going to stick it in the back of mums car as it less likely to me damaged.
He helped my carry it out to the car (without having seen it) i remember watching him the whole time as he CLEARLY thought he was going to be carrying
it back into the workshop again. Mum opens the tailgate and he's still clearly not convinced.
Lower it to bumper level, rest it on the flat loading cill, and slide it between the wheel arches upto the backs of the front seats and shut the
tailgate. Snug as a bug.
The look on his face was priceless!
And yes i had measured it before hand.
Only thing to watch we have found it the clutch. Fine when its on its own, but it pays to be careful with a trailer especially on inclines as
we've had to get it done twice in last 8 years. Just shy of 200k but it did do the first 40k as a 'demonstrator' and clearly got
ragged.
Annually family holiday to salcombe.
Greenlaning (not as good as the montego but with some snow chains on it will get over most ground, although as luck would have it the aux pulley
failed over the weekend, you can still see the snowchain marks on the wheels)
The bookcase that fitted!
