  3. Looks impressive, but can't believe the "trunk" wolume capacity.

    what do they mean by "trunk", 400 litres?..

    that's almost 2 X 44 gallon drums, doesn't seem that much room in the whole
    outfit.

  4. Yeah - that stuck out for me too. Although I originally read it as 400
    litre tank and I'm thinking wtf?

    But the whole capacity of the sidecar if it was sealed couldn't be
    much more than 400 litres, surely?

    A quick google came up with a 465 litre luggage capacity for a
    Commodore. And they do mention 400 litre twice on that page. God knows
    what is going on there.

  7. Yes it has two seats, but still doesn't look big enough to hold 400 litres
    remember that a 44 gallon oil/petrol drum is 220 litres

    OK; I admit I don't know drum standard sizes but 44 imp gallons is 200.02796
    litres in the most exact conversion I can manage.

    A 44 gal drum holds just over 45 gals if you fill it to the bung hole.

    Don't gallons convert into liters rather than litres ?

    Heh - the intention was to bring depth into the conversation. Seems
    that the effect was 180 degrees opposite of the intent.

    Only in America. In the UK and the rest of the English speaking world,
    they're the proper Litres.

    Yep; litres are liters but gallons aren't gallons!
