Gadge - I've been looking at my pile of D-Day stuff since before last weekend thinking - S**t, I need an estate car lol
I had extra kit for CR but admit that after getting out of my mudbath zelt-tent into something drier/warmer made a world of difference
Luckily i've found out that an mp40, spare batteries, speed loader and ammo fits wonderfully in a 1937 bren spare barrel bag!

Fortunately..... I do have an estate car!
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
LOL.
I bought my last car a bit bigger than the old one to 'cope a bit better with family holidays' (read - couldn't get all the airsoft kit into the previous car )
That said, it looks like I'm going to be using a loan car for D-Day as mine is still in the garage for warranty repairs, so I'm going to have to fit Forester's and my kit into a Picasso
Jeez you lot are whining , you haven't got a six foot long AEG to bring with you in a car that is 4 foot long in the back .
Put it on the roof, you'll not get *many* funny looks

speaking of kit... i always seem to have too much ...
Has anyone got an mp40 i can possibly borrow, my mp44 is STILL in customs, and my mp40 and garand conversion are both dead dead ....
