MX-3: The practical alternative…



  • **I was actually saving the bath for later :lol:

    Red took a left-hand shower bath entirely within her, boot and windows closed :D Surprised a pillock in a Vectra who was arsing about when he ran out of gears and I passed at "70mph honest guv" with a bath in the car :lol:

    I should also add:

    • A 9' long roll of carpet
    • An 8' length of 12" drainpipe that my boss couldn't fit in his Alfa 166…**


  • Funnily enough I have just:

    • Lugged a full living room/dining room carpet
      was a little worried with the new lower stance

    In the past Bert has lugged:

    • A dining table (with legs removed) and 2 chairs
    • An MX3 Bonnet
    • About 2 tonnes of rubble (in short trips back and forth) The look on the faces of people at the Tip when I rocked up and started removing half of my yard from the "sports car" was unbeatable.


  • No wonder not many of us run rear strut braces….



  • managed to get a washine machine in the back of mine :)



  • I can fit a complete mobile disco in the back with the seat down

    That is
    2 x 15" active speakers cabinets
    4 flight cases
    6 lights
    2 lasers
    smoke machine
    2 light T-bars and 2 speaker stands
    Plus a large holdall full of cables
    and I can still see out the rear and carry 1 passenger :D

    **I've taken a passenger and a large quantity of LAN gear - PS2s, TVs, steering wheels, a driving rig (collapsed), networking equipment, food and clothes for a weekend - before. Still did 35mpg :lol:

    Incidentally, your next post is your thousandth. Planning a party?**

    Or maybe that they're not easily available, I'd have one if they were.

    **I'll be caging Marvin. Bollocks to it, go the whole hog :D

    Might make him a smidge impractical, mind.**



  • Stuffed an old 32" TV into it a few months ago. With the rear seats folded, the dad managed to horse a trials bike into the back with the front wheel & forks removed, inside of the car stank of petrol for a week afterwards though!

    It'd be perfect if the rear loading height wasn't so high! No wonder they sold them as a van in some places :P

  • Yeah, I'm buying my own Xmas pressys this year :)



  • Item number: 150502862723 didnt think 68 dollhairs was that much for a pear…



  • These aren't a bad price:

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAZDA-MX3-Front-Back-Strut-Bar-strut-brace-alloy-/150427561098?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item23062e6c8a

    Corksport do a really nice set either but they are more expensive. A case of 'you pay for what you get' though, I guess.
