michael Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Supra rear hatch - will it go *in* any of these cars for transportation purposes? A Supra? Maybe turned the other way around and at a jaunty angle? A 2006 Fiesta? A 2000 Punto? An Astra Van? Or am I going to have to hire something?

JustGav Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Who needs a roof rack... just take 3 mates along, and get each one to hold on it on each corner on the roof I've actually seen people do this down the A33 with a sheet of MDF from B&Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I dont recon it will fin in an Astra, but you can give it a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Supra is a wide motor so I don't think it will fit inside anything other than a decent sized van. Roof rack is best option I reckon also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 how about drive the soop there without the rear hatch then bolt it on to bring it home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I actually suggested he remove the old one at the place he is collecting the new one from. Simple swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 If your stuck which I dunno if you are, I can take you to get it with the Omega just requires petrol, as astra van might be a rental? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Astra is a mates, I'm just not sure if he or the van are free at the moment as he has a lot on - it's typical, a month ago I had a works van and hated it, since it's gone back I've loads of stuff to move around. I should be OK but thanks for the offer sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'm sure it'll fit in an Astra Van. I got a whole TRD widebody in one, and those things are W I D E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 I can now confirm that a Supra hatch will not fit into an Astra van, sadly I only found this out on arrival in Newcastle. I will be returning tomorrow with the Supra so that I can swap the hatches over, I'm not sure why this wasn't suggested earlier to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
