Am i missing something here, but what exactly is the point in having split backrest sections, when you can only fold up the seat part in one bit?

not on mine it doesnt. It moves a bit sure, perhaps enough to stick a ski or a bit of 2x4 through the gap, but it certainly doesnt move enough to lay flat.

and also btw as it just bloody happens....went to b&q to pick some wood up...just as it happens had to put the seats down...got a 6x2ft mdf sheet in the back of the chammy no probs...plus some 3x3 and a saw and some screws....plus all my shit that i carry around with me pointlessly...

also..it wouldnt have been easy if i hadnt have put the seat up first as it keeps the back springing up otherwise...which isnt always nice

Dont talk nonsense man, everyone knows the hatch has a full 23 bhp more as standard and 37.5% more women fancy you when youre sitting in a hatch:)

not true..every feckers got a hatch...doesnt turn any heads at all (but of course this is my opinion) im not gunna run hatches down at all..after all its a valver...would have it over many a car. and i agree a hatch is much more practical..but if u want practical get a volvo estate Razz

the hatch is faster and better tbh

Also in the onld energy I managed to get a single divan bed in the back and shut the tailgate, try doing that in a chamade.

it also transported double mattresses here and there.

police take a great intrest in it, in the hatch I got none. That heap never have an MOT or Tax and it was falling apart, could park it in front of the police station and they wouldn't care, they now slow down and stare at the chamade, even had a couple stick on the lights and turn, I have not hung aroudn for them though.

madness,..i ve never had any attention except for the once when i had frt fogs on....and even then i think i was just unlucky as i was turnin in frt of him and must have pissed him off....

and no i dont normally drive with my fogs on....was accident...

but of course he put it in a way that if i was drivin with them on by accident then i wasnt driving with due care and attention cos there would be an indicator on the dash...

but fair do's he said u were driving with them on just "becuase they're there"...so i said yeah....let me off with a naughty note. but no other attention other than that
