I hauled the fridge for my Kegerator project home in the passenger seat of my Midget.
Tight fit, top down, but it did all right. :wink:
 
Re: Who says you can't haul furniture in a Bugeye

I lashed a new-in-the-box 26" color TV to the boot-lid of the Elan (same size as a Bugeye) to get it home, over some strong objections from the salesfolk... Made it home just fine.

Once hauled a 12' christmas tree and THREE folks home in an MGB... but they're <span style="font-style: italic">much</span> bigger than a Sprite. :wink:

The B also hauled a five drawer file cabinet home lyin' across the luggage rack.

Don' need no steenkin' TRUCKS!!! :jester:

Hey Barry,

While I'm thinking about your stripes. Can I get the width of your stripes, 6"? and spacing dimension between them. Trying to plan for Bugsy's final paint job. BRG and Bright Yellow Stripes for visibility.
 
Re: Who says you can't haul furniture in a Bugeye

Sure Jim,

I didn't paint the car, (the quality is far beyond my capabilities), but I did lay out the stripes the way I wanted them.

They are 6 3/4" with a 1" gap in between.
