Birkin - A "Real" SUV

[11Budlite]

I had to run to Home Depot to pick up a few supplies for some work I'm doing on the house, so since it was a nice day I thought I'd see if it would fit in the Birkin. I had to pick up (5) 10-foot 2 x 4's, some plumbing supplies, a couple 12 x 16 tarps, a couple gallons of paint, and some other small assorted hardware. Well, after removing the passenger headrest and securing the 2 x 4's to the rollbar, everything fit without using the trunk. It's a lot more fun to drive than the truck and gets about 10mpg better than the truck as well. I did get a few strange looks!

 

Here's proof:

Ahhh .. the Lotus Seven Pickup truck! Actually someone made one pic on page 167 of the Ortenburger book ..

I take my Blokart to the beach on my Birkin strapped to the back of my rollbar, works really well.

Never underestimate the utility of a se7en! I use mine for Home Depot runs when buying small quantities of 8’-10’ long pieces of lumber, and I even used my old Westfield once to pick up a 7’ tall Christmas tree. I certainly got some weird looks from people at the tree lot that day as I loaded up the car
