What do you drive?

[Chris M]

I drive a '99 Chevy Metro. Not the most glamorous car in the world, but it gets the job done while getting 42 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. I made it from Littleton, CO to Mount Rushmore on one tank of gas...

I can fit an Ampeg 410 cabinet, an SKB 8 space rack, my pedalboard, 2 basses and a guitar stand in the car and still have room for a passenger...

Nice try, but Bean's original was a redish orange 69 Morris Mini Cooper.

His second one was a lime green/yellow Mk III Austin Mini 1000. Don't forget that this one had a black hood.

haha I stand corrected but you guys need to give me props for being in the US and watching Mr. Bean!

I don't have no car. But when I finally stop buying junk and start saving, I'll probably buy a 80's Austin Mini (I always wanted one even though it's "junk".) I'll probably buy the cheapest one I can get and just fix it and replace broken/torn stuff, maybe new paint.

But what about the semis to move all the equipment round? I figured you would own at least *one* Peterbilt!

You'd be amazed at what I can fit into that Audi.

I drive a '99 Chevrolet Suburban. I use it in my furniture making business, and it easily hauls the five guys in my band and all of our gear. Granted, I average less than 20 mpg, but in terms of total fuel economy, driving one Suburban is still better than five separate vehicles - and it leaves four parking places for audience members.

Nice justification!

Dude, you can't just post those two beautiful cars without a little background on yourself!

For all I know, you are just some kid ripping off somebody else's pictures!

Ha ha! Yeah True, you gotta point there. I didn't get these cars buy playing music or being a rockstar....although I wish I could say I did. These are another hobby of mine, my everyday cars are a Subaru Wagon for the snow and a Ford P/U truck to haul stuff around. The Boxtruck is used to haul all the PA and Lightinig gear when we play venues that don't have Full sound / Lights. The Ultima GTR hails from Leicester, UK and this marque and is the Guiness Book World record holder for 0 -100 - 0 in under 10 seconds. I have fun just washing these. The A/C cobra was totally restored three years ago. I myself purchased these fine cars with divdends from a lucrative stock purchases. Those were the days.
