I went to Makro yesterday and went a bit overboard but was able to get it all in (just):

• I had a rolled-up king size mattress in the passenger seat and two crates of drinks in the footwell,
• Wife, baby and accessories in the back seat,
• Massive mattress box folded along the passenger side of the car (A- to C-pillar),
• More crates of drink, two pillows and some miscellaneous food (plus sub, amp, changer and strut brace, all unmoved) in the boot,
• Pushchair on top of the parcel shelf,

and I still could've done a Ferrari 'round a track if I'd felt the need! Although the mattress may have KO'd me on the first left-hand bend!

 

Theres no doubt about it, they are the greatest. I did 6 runs to the tip yesterday with the car packed to the rafters, I dont think the guys who work there could believe the amount of stuff packed in on each run, or how quickly I was able to get there and back!

 

Goes to show you can have a fast practial car for the family that's why I have one.

 

me to......

 

i moved house in two trips with a third for my tvs etc . quicker than any delivery van

 

And people don't try to beat you away from the lights. Where's the fun in beating an estate

 

they just disappear off most peoples radar

 

What no white wine or fruit-based drink for the missus...? You just weren't trying.....

 

i had mine packed with tools and 2 full sets of ladders on the roof(serious roof spoilers)im never late for work.

 

Funny to see this as tonight I was designated driver for our darts match and we were playing away. I had 4 passengers and when they got out of the car they were all pretty amazed at just how quick it was. I was particularly happy with the comments made from one of the guys whose best mate has an Evo. He said "that is seriously quick mate....and with 5 fat *******s in it too!"

Still selling it though unfortunately.

 

Ditto. It's great having a fast car you can pretend you got for it's practicality

Think I'm even winning the wife over a little, Now we have had a couple of family trips in it. Went to watch the BTTC at Oulton park last weekend.Me, wife, 3 kids. prams, food, chairs etc.

 

I agree, we have just been campimg for a week and we took me, him, 2 tiddly peeps, tent, bedding, 2 man dinghy plus oars and a wakeboard. On the way back it had all that and shed loads of sand as well.
