madness

richie · 17-10-2007, 08:52

How the feck did they do that..................Brilliant

ScoobyChris · 17-10-2007, 09:03

That's excellent

They also have a "game" on their website where you have to try and pull the Impreza off the road....

Wouldn't fancy doing the PDI on the three underneath, unless they were drained of all fluids after loading...

Very good

I just saw this transporter this morning - parked on the A45 near the NEC (I wonder if there's a motoring exhibition there this week or something?)

Very Impressive.

Or up the road from Pro-Drive on the M40?

Think you'll find the ones on the bottom are plastic.....Lift in....Lift out

Loz · 21-02-2008, 18:11

I like it

Mater · 21-02-2008, 18:14

The cars in the bottom are not plastic they are real cars that are bolted in after engine and transmission is removed

fordfan · 21-02-2008, 19:20

They drained the fluids and made A frames and loaded them with a forklift that rotated them and bolted them to the transporter. The mechanicals are still in them.

This was what I was told by one of the technical managers from International Motors - the company that imports Subarus. I asked about it when I saw it parked up at their head office in Coleshill.
