And that’s how you end up driving a giant purple hearse.
Now that was something special. Could fit three Marshall Cabs in the back... upright... plus guitars and monolithic pedal board.... without dropping the rear seat.
But it couldn't match the Hilux going to Hamilton! :D
Easy for you to say. You weren't in the back! (I hesitate to call it a seat)

As I recall, neither were you. Didn't we pack Ryan in the back?
Anyway, the point is the staggering amount of stuff and people we crammed in; it's not about your comfort. :lol:

Pretty sure it was me or I wouldn't be having cold shivers at the memory! :lol:

And I beg to differ. I'd give up a smidgin of capacity for a smooth ride in quiet comfort any day. :razz:

But yes, the Hilux can take a staggering amount of gear and only leaves its passengers staggering afterwards. :twisted:

Ah, we must have put you in the back to hold up the stack of amps; Ryan being such a little fella.
Well you completed the journey without whimpering audibly....respect. :D

Was that the gearfest in Hamilton you're referring too? You only managed to get everything squeezed in on the trip down, and then I asked if Ryan could take my Marshall head back to service it. I remember someone having to have it on their lap!!!! hahaha
