Er, I don't think your front passenger will be too happy if you try and fit a guitar inside them!
The boot can be made bigger by removing the multi-changer hump (if you have one - see the Z3 knowledge base for more info). If the boot still isn't big enough, then most things will got on the passenger seat or in the footwell. I've had a domestic air-conditioner and loft-ladder in mine (not at the same time - and I did have the roof down).
You any good? We have some budding guitarists on here (not me though - I' tone deaf!).

We are often travelling (two people in one Zed) with an accoustic guitar (ovation) in soft case, small mixer, wireless mic system, planty of cables and loudspeaker stand (all those in a boot) and just in front of passanger's seat - 200 watt amplified loudspeaker!!!
And we are usually making small shopping after the gig!!!

Hiscocks make a very good range of form-fit cases for Strats, Teles etc that would fit into the passengers side as would a Gibson Les Paul case but not a standard Fender case or something larger like a 335. Also there's certainly room behind the seats with the hood up for a soft bag for effects, leads etc. I did manage to carry a short-chassis Mk4 Boogie in the boot on one occasion but I had to use bubble wrap and a bungee. However that was an emergency when my other car was off the road and I wouldn't recommend it. The handling characteristics are certainly interesting with an 85lb amp in the boot!!
Re: any guitar players out there?
I have no problem getting a Telecaster in the boot of mine , even before I removed the multichanger, Someone else on a similar thread said the got a les Paul and an Ibanez in his at the one time , so no problems with electrics , I am looking for a parlour sized accoustic in the hope that it will fit in the boot with a hard case.

Re: any guitar players out there?
Muppet, if you want a palour-size guitar have you looked at a Baby Taylor? Nice little beast and good value.
If anybody in the Manchester area is interested, please read the contents of an email for an event at a local club (local to manchester), all welcome,
from email from Andy at Acoustic Attitude - "Official Taylor Guitar demonstrator to the UK, Mr. Pete Smith, is demonstrating and teaching at Acoustic Attitude's Tuesday night music club, upstairs at the Wendover, Brooklands, South Manchester, next Tuesday, Feb 13th, 7.00 pm 'til 9.00 pm
Wanna come down? Give us a ring - 07931 450 625"
I am down there every Tuesday, beginners 6 - 8 and advanced 8 - 10, a good laugh, some good teaching, and all for £3.00

Welllllll.....tags wrote:Wow Alfie....didnt know you was a guitar player, yet alone gigging, tell us more.
I've been a bass player for....ahem....quite a few years, and spent most of those years in various gigging bands from youth clubs through pubs and social clubs to most of the top venues in London and all over the country. Always as an amateur or semi-pro, never full time.
My most recent band, of which I was also the manager, has finally fallen apart after about 12 years of reasonable success in the weddings+corporate scene, so I'm currently bandless, which suits me right now.
I also play for several drama groups, spending time in the pit about 3 or 4 times a year. Just finished a very successful panto in Palmers Green. (OH NO YOU DIDN'T.... )
Big problem is that there are SO MANY Zed events we want to go to that my music (and another serious hobby) are taking a back seat at the moment. There's a show I really want to do, but it clashes with the Norfolk weekender.....
So if 'Em Zed and the Roadsters' need a bass player.....

Now this could be a really interesting "band". What styles/genres are you all playing, blues, rock, folk etc. Personally, my background is hip hop from back when i used to DJ (old skool from early 80's thru to early 90's), and now that i have picked up the guitar i am trying to learn lots of reggae (my other fav music genre), as there isn't much guitar in Hip Hop.
A lot of the music i am being given to practise to is stuff like Eagles, Snow Patrol, Buddy Holly, Big Bill Broonzy, Del Amitri, Labi Siffri (too difficult for me Something Inside So Strong - lots of different bar chords), and lots more. Its very interesting.
