So I have a new job

Sadly it pays much much less than the current one and has much worse hours but the musical fun to be had is brilliant!

www.badkequartet.co.uk

So i need a new Quartetmobile

Spec:

Diesel/LPG
Must take a cello in the boot
Cost almost nothing- no really nothing!
Be reliable
Take motorways in its stride so that the driver can do a concert at the other end
A/C

Thats it.

Thought it might be a fun one to share- obviously if anyone knows or has something we could use then let me know, absolutely bottom dollar paid
:lol:

Good plan, except cello won't fit flat across the floor either sideways or lengthways....

Yeh rite-so ...
or mayhap

Didn't know they PRV powered :wink:

I was thinking along the lines of:

Merc W124/ old S class
Citroen Xm Diesel ( after '95)
Old 5/7series BMW
Ford Scorpio - the really ugly ones (massive boot)
Galaxy/Espace etc etc with rear set of seats removed- might be a bit pricey!

Any others?

So your real name is Eniko Magyar then? or are they becoming a quin....cinque.......err 5 piece then?

Ask SImon G, make him an offer on his bus.

by **jon_viola** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 9:32 pm

No, Enci's gooooooooone.......

Think Simon's bus, lovely though it is, might be a slightly more taxing drive than say an old Merc

I guess this means no chance of you being in the string section for Spiritualized ladies and gentlemen shows at RFH and Barbican later in the year then? could have done with blagging a ticket and aftershow! :wink:
