lazy summer

[Ian Watson]

Hi,

The annual problem of how to pack the MX5 for those weeks away on holiday
approaches. If anyone knows of where (in Auckland) to buy clever space
saving camping/beach chairs that will fold away to next to nothing at all
into the boot of the MX5 I'd be really grateful.

PS yes I know I could always unbolt the car seats, take them out and use
those each time!

briscoes has fold out chairs that fold into a tube like a small tent.

they have beer holders built in!

now that's exactly the sort of advice I was looking for

[Bill Rehm]

Endorse H's advice however be aware that this style of chair now comes in
several different models (and at very significant price differentials)
----- some lower, wider, more comfortable, heavier tubing and weight,
sturdier, cloth vs canvas vs synthetic materiel, etc than others. There's
even one now that is a 2-seater!

You can now find them in most of the major retail chains (Briscoes, K-mart,
etc) but also at some sporting, camping and marine stores (ie. PaknPedal,
Canvas City, Hunting and Fishing in Glenfield, marine store near Westhaven
Marine, etc).

How do I know all this??? I was on a crusade last year to find the one
that suited me best --- mine (purchased at K-mart) come with a carry bag
that has a strap so you can carry it like a rifle and were more roomier and
sturdier than those from Briscoes. You can carry two in the trunk (yeah I'm
an American) easily with room enough for a small (for the beer or wine of
course) chilly-bin.
