Nothing wrong with the Ford apart from the fact you cant get all types of pinball machines in the back so it is no good.

 %.% Props to fitting the head box in there with millimetres to spare. He must have seen that Stargate with a price too good to drive away from.

A melbourne dealer once delivered a machine to me in a Renault Koleos. It fit the pin and his 6'8" frame in surprisingly easy. Plenty of vehicles will fit a pinball in the back of them.

That is typical of todays society-catch it on camera and post instead of trying to prevent future incidents. Piss funny though. Bet that cost a  lot of money to play that game %.%

Oh yeah and have shipped all wondrous size pins and bits in my VY wagon also. Need the limo tint on it to hide the prize!
If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.

Best thing about a wagon is that rain, hail or shine, the machine is as safe as it can be in there.

I drive a BA falcon wagon because pins don't fit in a commodore wagon.    So far I've squeezed in wpc data east and sterns but gottlieb system 3 don't fit.  I can detach the head box slide it down the Playfield glass and squeeze it in.

Subaru Forrester is the same (plus will fit a Capcom)

Here's my 2000 model Camry wagon with a Card Whiz in it  :D
I can fit most pins in there, even had a couple of widebodies in there in the past (Roller Disco and Stellar Wars)

I havent tried it but i dont think a DMD game with a fold down headbox will fit (i did measure one up once with the head folded down, tape measure said NO lol)

I usually pull the spare tyre and jack out from its compartment under the floor before doing this and put them in beside or behind the game.. no point in tempting fate  :lol

Every time its new car time, I have to come up with reasons to convince my wife why a Liberty or Impreza etc won't suit her, and coincidentally, handy to collect largish things from time to time.....might be a hard sell for the next one as she loves the new XV  %$%
