Rare Pagoda seating 4
« on: February 06, 2015, 13:01:51 »
It looks as if Pagodas were able to provide an exhilarating experience to more than just two people at the same time.
Do not take it as an example to follow on public rodas, tough ;)

It's an adorable scene and I imagine any bystanders would smile.

But in all seriousness, I wondered about using the back like this for a special occasion like a parade or a wedding. Would the suspension be okay? Maybe at low speeds with no bumps? Or could you use something simple like a padded board to distribute the weight over the sides of the car instead of over the softtop hatch cover?

Imagine a panic stop!  You'd get to see some acrobatic flying from the passengers. :o  I carried 4 in my car once for a short distance but my California Coupe has a back seat.  Both front seats had to be well forward and the person behind me could still get only one foot on the driver's side of the tunnel.
