The base still takes up a lot of room. In my magna, the base has to ride in the front seat as it wont fit in the boot

Another alternative is the Saxon/skywatcher type 8 inch f5 dob. I used to own one of these and at 1000mm focal length it should fit into any car.
Where there's a will there's a way! If I have to drive with it hanging out of the sunroof I will. Seriously, I had better measure it, that base concerns me now.
