Loading My Zafira

[EdBray 0]

I was asked about how I load my car, so I spent an hour or so this morning loading and unloading it and taking some pictures, so if your interested, see below!

 

The stuff included is as follows:

 

1x RCF705AS Sub

2x Martin Wizard Extremes (in large flightcases)

2x XL 2.0mtr Prolight Flames

1x 4U,11U Flightcase with HD2500, X500, Stairville DMX Master and 8 way IEC switchblock

2x Impossibleds in 12" cubed Record Cases

2x Mackie C200s (passive version of the SRM350)

1x 2U ABS case with PEC amplifier

2x Martin EFX500s (In Martin bags)

1x Prolight Nebula laser

1x Laptop Case

1x Wireless Mic System in case

1x Large Cable and Lead bag

 

There is still room for some more items and the front cab area is also kept free (roadies, pretty hitch-hikers etc).

 

In the Topbox I take all the metalwork:

 

Ultimax stand with 600mm and 1200mm sides

Uprights (either wind-up or standard)

Ultimax shelf

3.0mtr Dual Bar Truss

Stepladder

Folding Trollay

Plastic step stool

 

I also take a small toolbox and my ACME HP-2S Hazer, but they are not shown as they fit in at the very back below the window level.

 

Obviously this shows my standard type outfit, the Twin Bose L1 system takes up a lot less space.

Nice one Ed!

 

I almost bought a zafira in November, nice black one with limo black rear windows, it looked the mutts nuts!

But I decided that it wasnt big enough for my needs so I went for the Galaxy instead, Im now thinking that maybe I was wrong and it would have all fitted!

 

Where did you get the record cases that fit the impossiled?.....coz Im looking for a case for mine.

Got them off ebay, It has to be a 12" by 80 or 100 records. Mine are the 100 record version. Cost about £25 each, well made and fit the limpossibleds beautifully.

Looks neat :Thumbup:

I don't think I dare take a picture of the back of my van, it's about 4 times the size of the Zaf and at least 40 times messy :hide:

Come to think of it, a good point. Your probably right :Thumbup:

Thats true.....

 

But lets be fair, getting two adults onto the rear rear seat of a zaferia would be tight to say the least, I found I could just squeze in and be resonably comfortable, and I aint the bigest guy in the world anyone bigger than me......not a chance LOL

 

Cheers for the record case tip off ebay, I will have a look now :Thumbup:

 

EDIT: I have found some KAM 12" cases that hold 80?

Are they big enough for an impossiled because you say you have the 100 capacity version?

I used a 1.6 Zafira until last year. Plenty of room, but not as big as a Picasso.

 

I see you have a new 08 model. It's worth protecting the inside of the car as you will get some scuffing.

I had a vectra estate (now a van) I scuffed that to bits.. Even a slight rip in the ceiling from the frame of my booth.

Yes the Zafira took a battering in the boot. I always used a couple of old blankets to protect the interior.

I get all my gear in a Mondeo hatchback !

 

There is quite a lot of room with the back seats folded forward, possibly nearly as much as a small van.
