viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15196

this next saturday --need to drive 300 miles round trip --to pick up this awesome
piece of ' frank art '

problemmo ---me and wifey have only this dinky little TWO SEAT tacoma --that barely fits 2 skinny
people -- :'-(
and ONE of us is none to skinny

wifey is also a friend of franks and his wife and son --so she wants to go

there is no way this grail can fit in the tiny seat with both of us ..

so --i have 4 poor options -- please choose only ONE

A . cancel the trip --ship it ....................... vote NFW
B.
throw the grail in the tuck bed --- hope for no downpours --and let it bounce around for 150 miles :'-(
C. grail rides home in the passenger seat /// wifey rides back there !!!

D. wifey takes the BUS home

Buy 10 D Cells before you leave, wife drives home, you sit with GF 1000 on lap the trip back,

pfft it's only 150 miles. You can do it.

 

[redbenjoe]

terry ---------thats the unmentionable option E

---applies ONLY when she refuses to get on the bus

 

[Fatdog]

Option F - Inflatable air mattress and two U-Haul moving blankets = good to go!

 

[stormsven]

Aaaa, just leave the gf 1000 to Frank

 

[ViennaSound]

Make a good packing job and store it in the back!

.... the boombox, not the wife!

Almost better than any shipping.

 

[AZA]

Buy a new car

 

[redbenjoe]

Buy a new car

totally spot ON !!!
look at joes new wheels --

we could stick 40 grails in there -
plus 4 fat chicks

Option F:

GET A BIGGER TRUCK!

 

[chevyman-uy]

Change the Toyota for this other "jap" Subaru pick up ,,funny but a liltle dangerous
and is from the 80 like ,the gf 1000

 

[ViennaSound]

This Subaru was just sold near vienna.
But very bad condition.
Nice, super rare vehicle!

Btw: you need a "container" or so for the pickup.
Get more storage room

 

[redbenjoe]

classy comfy old bus ( just like her )

 

[floyd]

ira , like was stated before you could have frank or your self pack the 1000 in a box and wrap some heavy duty trash bags around the carton and duct tape it tight . get the heavy duty trash bags they sell at home depot and double wrap the radio and the carton .

 

[redbenjoe]

with you floyd -
thats the realistic//practical//safe solution --
--------------------------------
but i just wanted to STARE at it --all the way home

 

[monchito]

bajoe man how many time do i have to tell u to get this :annoyed:

 

[redbenjoe]

those are only good to pack ONE graIL -

i usually tool about with 86 grails
need that greyhound bus

 

[ViennaSound]

You are lucky to have that pickup.
I was on flea with a friend, and we have to pack 3 boomboxes and 2 pendulum watches in a SMART !!!!

Ok, we drove only ~20kilometer, but it was not comfortable....

 

[redbenjoe]

back to option D..........

here is the always dutiful and ultra cooperative Mrs redbenjoe -
ALL ABOARD !!!

 

[hemiguy2006]

No dilema .
Just get some bubble wrap!!! I have a lawn bag and we will just wrap it up real good before you head home.
Make sure you wrap my grails up real nice before you head down too.
Get Monchito over there to help you wrap that stuff up.
Lawn bag first,
Tape it up for water proofing then double wrap with big bubble.
Dilema solved

 

[redbenjoe]

frank --already did ALL that -
plus DOUBLE BOXED -- plus some foam boogie boards to line the truck bed
