Becoming a Dad means certain compromises to the former rock'n'roll lifestyle. But sometimes Mummy and the kids have to compromise too; like having the seats ripped out of their car so Daddy can pretend it's a Transit van. When we bought our Citroën Berlingo Pope-mobile, although it's only moderately sized, I always figured you could squeeze a motorcycle in the back. Simply remove the back seats with a Torx spanner. Nothing was removed from the bike, but I did compress the front forks with nylon cam-lock tie-down inbetween the handlebars and front axle - the wheel can still turn so you can run it up the ramp. It's a proper Tardis. BP
you've got tons of room in that thing
ReplyDeleteWe used to have a brown Berlingo, or the 'meatball' as we called it. So practical.
