my 124 spider was a daily driver for 23 years. In that period, i hauled everything from canoes to 55 gal drums (full). The funniest was when I managed to strap on 2 wicker king's chairs. I'm working my way home through the side streets when an block in front of me, I watched an oncoming vehicle smack head-on into a parked car because the driver was too busy looking at me.
My 124 has hauled plywood and drywall resting on the roll bar and windshield. Pipe, 2x4's and anything long through the passenger footwell and as long as I dare.
My 4 door 131 once hauled 33 cases (24 bottles each) of Heineken for a party. It was my first and only low rider.
