2001 Mazda B3000 Pickup truck
2001 Ford Explorer  
 
Never tried to put much more than a couple overnight bags in the Volvo as the spare tire takes up to much room in the trunk/boot.
 
Can carry everything I have in the other two.

1991 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 - fast approaching 218,000 miles.  Wondeful car and, with the tiny back seat folded down, can hold a LOT of gear.
 
1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. (Wife's car) It's holds what the 300ZX can't.
 
1959 Mercedes 220S Cabriolet with Hydrak tranny.  Fun only.  It's like driving down the road on your living room couch!
 
Bill, tgo

2004 Opel Corsa 1.0 Enjoy, an economical yet gritty 3 cylinder, in Titian Red (discontinued colour) - but to be honest I've been driving it only since the last two weeks, as I've only gained my license that recently. And we live in a country that's basically flat, so no worries about the small engine.
 
I guess it will hold my two Alembics and the SWR WM12, with the 2/3 splitable backseat still accommodating two passengers.

Yawn? Try yuck:
1996 Ford Taurus, red, with a 3.0 V6 and a rebuilt tranny; probably the worst car I've ever owned, but I appear to be stuck with it.
Guess where I cut corners to be able to play Alembic?
I'm considering taking on a silver '76 Jag XJ-6 as a project car and dropping in a Chevy block, so stay tuned.

here's my current vehicle - takes my trace 4x10 combo,1x15 cab, 2 12inch pA speakers, a wedge monitor and two Alembics. Plus one passenger. Up till now I've had 4 Land Rover Defenders but Mrs J decided we needed more sophistication this time round ;-)

 
I also have an MG Midget awaiting restoration - it's not much use for transporting gear though.

I don't drive at all.  If you guys want to experience what I do, get into your car and put on a blindfold, then try to go for a spin and see how far you get!!!!
 
I do own a 2002 Nissan Primera Estate (station Wagon for all of you living on the West Bank!)  It is a 2.2 Diesel and can hold all gear quite comfortably.

[jacko]

Lol! If we want to experience what you do Mike we need to marry a saint, then sit in the passenger seat while she drives us around ;-)
 
With the seats down, Mikes Primera probably has more length than my Discovery !

1997 Ford F-150, 150 K miles.  Before that it was a Honda CRX, which I got rid of after 345,000 miles (original clutch, struts, & timing belt).
