A much more impressive feat is how I get my upright into my 4 door no hatchback Mercury Mystique. mario_farufyno Senior Member Username: mario_farufyno Post Number: 893 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2013 - 1:13 pm:    ...

He used to open passanger's window to get space enough for the neck pass trough.

However, I have to remove the passenger seat to accomplish the task. hankster Advanced Member Username: hankster Post Number: 314 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2013 - 7:44 pm:    My old bass teacher used to get his 7/8 upright into a small 1970s BMW. it was like watching a Doug Henning show. moonliner Intermediate Member Username: moonliner Post Number: 111 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2013 - 8:36 pm:    That's great! I LOVE those Smart cars, but people are always saying I could never have one because I play upright. Take that naysayers! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 11035 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2013 - 9:00 pm:    Cool video! jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3383 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2013 - 11:49 pm:    I bought a double bass towards the end of last year and also have a smart car and good to know I can take it to a gig in my car when I learn to play it.

Hey, you brag what you can. Peter ps - The Spitfire was Triumph, not Supermarine. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 5387 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2013 - 6:11 pm:    Peter: I'll bet the three of you were very friendly. lol Bill, tgo cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1437 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2013 - 7:11 pm:    The non-5' 11" person was of the XX persuasion (that's chromosomes, not size). I, alas, was the driver. Mick enjoyed it more than I. Peter
