    Hi,
    I am considering buying both a 32" and a 40" tv from RicherSounds.
    I've noticed that quite a few of the tvs are instore collection only.
    As I live in the South and would have to drive a fair distance to collect - do you think that both of these tvs would fit in an Audi A3 3-door car?

    I don't fancy having to make 2 trips if one of them won't fit.

    Cheers in advance for any advice on this

    Look up the full specs of the TVs in question on the manuf's website - in some cases they detail the size of box it comes in - then out with the measuring tape. :)

    Some manuf's are better than others in that regard and the amount of packaging buffer around the TV also varies from one manuf to another.

    Worst case - I'm sure those nice RS guys could measure the boxes for you before you pay them a visit.

    FWIW - I had plenty of room to spare with a 40" Sony lying flat in the boot/backseat of a Ford Focus Saloon and had previously had a 32" Sony in just the boot of the same car. Once the 40" fits in you should be fine.

    Codpeas,

    Thanks a million - fancy a job answering Boards posts??

    Gaillimh - yep mosty 40 will fit into an A3 once you are happy to lie them down, drop the seats, avoid Ikea/Sainsburys/etc - but just drop us a line and we will happily check out the box dimensions.

    Thanks again,

    ATB,
