Hi I am looking into getting a round nosed van but i need to know if my drums fit before i go through the whole process! well at least my bass drum!
it's about 22x26 inches including the case alas i love minis i had a roundie with cooper s running gear until it was written off in the great mini accident of 2001 "Hobo" will be sadly missed...
any info would be great!
thank you!

I know the back door gap is 1m at the base of the door coz I put a strip along the edge of the carpet exactly 1m in length.

1m is how many inches?

You should be able to fit the whole kit.. there's heaps of room :)

unless you've mounted a humungus sub in the back :roll:

You're in Sydney right? (should put that in your location)
There are plenty of Ausminiers with vans in Sydney.
I'm sure you could arrange a test :)

My dads first car was a mini van (clubman of course :wink: ) and he was a drummer. In fact that was the reason he bought it... that and it only cost him $80 back in the 70's :D
