Title: Best car for the hobby?
Post by: cebulba on October 21, 2013, 05:07:02 PM

Hi folks,

my OPEL Vectra estate car broke down and I need a new car by 2014 (not going to buy that OPEL one again).
What was best, it had 2 meters loading space and the height was perfect - so nearly every cab fitted perfectly :-)

Now I need to upgrade: Which person/family car fits 2 cabs side by side in the back?
Are there any cars at all besides MiniVans? (so far I found only Volvo V70 should be big enough).

Any recommendations?

If I'm going for a Minivan - which one? It seems that most of these aren't wide enough.

Should have at least 6-seats and if more, the last row should be easily to dismantle.

I personally like the MAGNUM Van by VW - but its too old to drive 1000km a month :-)

The Volvo V70 is a great choice, in every aspect. ;)
I have a V50, is a bit small for bigger cabs, but the best car I ever had.

This is how we roll ;)

Used this method to transport a cab from one side of the town to another last weekend. Worked perfectly, just take care not to damage
the side-art (place something soft underneath it) The car we used was a ford focus.

Just get a bouwvakkerbus. They also drive comfortable with the high view and are easier on the diesel than I thought. You have them with 2 3-seat rows and still 1.6x2x1.8m in the back.
