Has anybody put a pinball in an estate car with the backbox towards the tailgate ?
I've moved many pins in the Mrs' Citroen C5 estate but always with the backbox behind the seats.
I think if it would fit reversed I could do it and still leave the single rear passenger seat up.

Anyone done this before ?

Isnt backbox towards the tailgate the usual way? They fit in my Astra estate this way no problem, although modern sterns are a bit tight on the roof lining around the opening but go with a bit of a shove.

I've always put them it t'other way round and I don't know why. I shall take some photos if I manage to get it in as I wish.
 
I guess it depends how you move them. If using a sack truck then you will end up putting the coin door end in first unless you go out of your way not to. Using a hydraulic lift then either way I guess.

I used to have one - they were mahoosive inside, and had a decent sized opening at the back. Thats where the problem is on more modern cars - the capacity is there, however the opening isnt big enough!
 
Yes you can fit a standard width Bally/Williams in a Citroen C5 estate and still have a passenger in the back. :thumbs:
