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:

1m = 39.3700787 inches according to the know it all google!
so hopefully should fit but i measured the case last night and it seemed bigger than that.. i dunno im just going off web specs for the case! ill need to steal the back of someone's panel van and try and see if i can get the stuff through the doors!
thanks for letting me know!

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
