Title: mobility aids and boot space
Post by: hoju on July 19, 2018, 04:51:15: Has anyone had experience loading a mobility walking frame or a folding wheel chair in the boot of a PD or PD2 hatch? Can either be accommodated without putting the back seats down? Many thanks!

I believe hoju0818 did stipulate "without putting the back seats down" :)

it'd be a massive wheel chair to not fit without putting the seat down but as the post was wrong I removed it...........I'l learn to read the full post before replying next time.

You didn't have to go that extreme, at least we could see how much fits in the PD with the seats down :D I'll restore your post :)

Don't be like that @Cookie Thumper .. I've done nearly 60 thousand posts and many probably consider most of them to be superfluous but who cares.. I certainly don't. :twisted: You've made some excellent contributions!
Oh, and the OP even gave you a thank you for it! :goodjob2:
