I brought a $25 special from Bunnings, P-handle type complete with blow-up wheels. I had to modify it to fit standing upright behind the driver seat, ( I own a Ford Falcon sedan). This consisted of shortening the bottom plate down to 100mm and shortening the length down to 1100mm. I did this by cutting the tubing about half-way, cut off the excess, then rejoin the two section with steel-tubing inserts, and finally, some pop-rivets to hold it together. I've made an insert for the 10 inch dob's optical tube from the original packing carton which fits in the boot. I use this strapped to the hand truck to cart the scope around..much easier!!!
