Telescope transportation

A little while ago I recieved an email from someone who was browsing the forums asking me how/if my 10" fits into my car. So I thought it might be an interesting thread for prospective buyers to find out what sort of telescope people have, and what sort of car they transport it in, and how it all fits into the car. Here is my entry.

Telescope: GSO GS-880 10" Dob
Car: 2001 Holden Commodore SS
How I transport it:
OTA - Across the back seat
Rocker box - Front seat fully assembled
Other options: there doesnt appear to be many

Notes: the OTA wont fit into the boot easily, and due to its length wont fit in the boot through the "ski chute" (ie. perpendicular to the back seats) due to the length of the OTA/angle of entry.

If people are interested I can also add pictures.

edit: can this be moved to the Beginner forum please, I posted it in the wrong area!
