Title: Classic japanese sports car & furniture delivery vehicle!
Post by: B.Martin on January 18, 2012, 02:58:23 PM
So I had an unfortunate encounter last week with the van and Cyprus police, to cut a long story short the van wasn\'t cleared properly at customs (by the customs clearing agent) when I imported it, so it was classed as \'illegally in Cyprus\' this resulted in it being impounded. As some of you know I run a retro/modern furniture shop over here, last week a guy ordered 4 chairs and needed them or tomorrow, this would have been fine until the van was taken.

So the only mode of transportation I have is the RX-7.

Fortunately the chairs come in 2 parts, the tips and the bases, I managed to squeeze the 4 tops behind the passenger seat...

And the bases in the boot, I was impressed actually I wast sure I\'d be able to do it.

I have to say I expected horrendous fuel economy but at a normal 70 I\'ve done around a hundred mile round trip and the fuel gauge hasn\'t moved much, what I\'m saying is its used less than quarter of a tank, which can\'t be that bad?

Never thought I\'d see the day I used the FC for delivering furniture :Giggle

Just thought I\'d share the story.

Yeah the mrs doesn\'t want me to start taking the interior out, because once I start I can\'t seem to stop. :Giggle
