[VHFcontesting] Re: Choice of Rover Vehicles

[Marten T Beels]

Well, I'm sure that it isn't what you're looking for, but for the topic of 
Rover Vehicles, I thought that you might be interested in what we did with a 
Ford Festiva.  I bet that there aren't too many rovers out there using that 
vehicle!  We made enough room for our limited equipment by removing the front 
seat and installing a book shelf there instead.  The windload was VERY 
noticable, I found myself downshifting to 4th gear just to stay above 55mph.  
And no, it doesn't have air :)
