Question Tuesday

After driving through Ohio in my little Mazda last week, I got to thinking about touring and spending excessive amounts of time in a vehicle. So, let’s say you go on tour.

What would be your ultimate tour transportation?

I figured that I would be reasonable and not go for a stretch limo or any sort of luxury tour bus. Personally, I don’t like driving cars that are very high off the ground, so I think I’d love a giant Volvo station wagon – plenty of storage in the trunk, a large backseat for tourmates, plus Volvos are virtually indestructible versus most other obstacles. They also have large doors, giving plenty of space for some sort of Hogwarts mural to be painted on the side.

    I’d love to tour in a huge boat. Not great for the middle of the country but you could hit all the warm, coastal places.

    That should cover it. Its an off-road VAN.

    As for the inside. Surge protectors along the internal side paneling.
    EVDO antenna for mostly always available internet.
    GPS of course.
    Mini-fridge.
    Foam padded watertight pelican cases for my video and computer gear.
    Seating would be along the sides for better seating and leg room.
    Exit would be through the rear and driver/passenger doors.

    I would really love a minivan. There’s something very big and small all at the same time about them. And these days they have such cool gadgets!

    ‘Cause doing jumps over small town sherriffs and having a trunk full of exploding arrows and a crossbow beats room for music gear any day of the week.

    I would love to tour in a classic 1960s/1970s VW Microbus, complete with a tripped out paint job. My inner hippie would be thrilled. XD

    I’m not looking for comfort in my ideal transport, just something that gets me from B to A (Britain to America) in a relatively short space of time. So therefore I reckon my ideal transport would be a TARDIS! It could get me anywhere in the world! And I could get to several shows at once, and take week-long breaks and still arrive on time. A Portkey posing as an old boot would be pretty damned cool, too.

    I think Georgia has the right of it. I’d be all over a TARDIS.

    I don’t know though. A TARDIS doesn’t look like it would have much room for tour mates, merch, instruments, equipment, etc. At least go with a flying Delorean. That has a trunk, at least. 😛

    Bearing in mind the TARDIS is bigger on the inside…
